I am an enthusiastic and diligent music teacher based in Bristol. I enjoy helping students to find and reach their individual goals. I teach a range of styles for all levels, including improv, classical and jazz.

I am a composer, saxophonist and pianist with an undergraduate degree in music composition from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and am currently studying a Masters of Music Composition for Film and Television at the University of Bristol.

While in Sydney, I played in multiple chamber groups, an orchestra, a sax quartet and an improv group. I also reached 8th grade in both piano and saxophone. I'm currently playing in a Bristol based band and look forward to seeing what more the music world of Bristol has to offer.

I love music and am eager to share my passion with others.

I have been a tutor both privately and with a studio since beginning my music degree in 2016. I have taught piano, saxophone and composition during that time to all ages of students. While at a music studio, I also gave teaching lessons to other tutors and provided them with the support needed to feel confident in their own teaching abilities. In addition to private lessons, I also directed a music holiday camp for the studio, including creating a syllabus and class lessons, inventing and carrying out musical games and of course presenting lessons.

Whether students are looking to progress through exams, challenge themselves in new styles or simply play the music they love, lessons are catered for each individual student. It's all about finding out what students love, introducing them to new aspects of music and providing them with the support and skillset they need in order to succeed in their goals. My teaching styles range from student to student. I love to have a jam, help students with their own projects, play musical games and share exam related knowledge and experience. My own upbringing in music involved a mixture of disciplined exams with super fun group and individual performance and collaboration opportunities.

As an older student with some musical experience with other instruments, I find Kristina’s lessons both enjoyable and challenging. I’m making real progress with my saxophone playing and would recommend her to anyone wanting to take up an instrument in later life.

Kristina is both a fantastic teacher and an incredible musician. As a teacher she has a very open, adaptable teaching style and an engaging, positive personality that enables her to teach directly to the needs of her student, encouraging the underconfident and productively channelling the energies of the enthusiastic. She is incredibly perceptive in identifying the subtle causes underlying mistakes, and very capable at explaining the reasoning behind advice rather than just issuing instructions. As a musician her passion for and sheer enjoyment of music in all its forms really shines through; teaching at all levels with equal enthusiasm and verve, demonstrating conventions of the genre and techniques unique to the piece in every case. She has an excellent ear and is able almost effortlessly to identify minor imperfections in tone, tune, or technique and correct them before bad patterns are learned, as well as guiding a student's expression and dynamics even from their early lesso

As an Adult learner, I was initially daunted by the prospect of starting a new instrument. Kristina’s approach helped me gain confidence quickly and evoked real enjoyment in learning. I would highly recommend Kristina as a tutor. 10/10!
