Beste muziekliefhebbers, ik nodig jullie graag uit voor mijn lessen piano, zang en oortraining. Voor alle niveaus. Mijn doel is om van het leerproces een prettige en quality time te maken.

Anna Frank is a versatile pianist, arranger and music educator based in The Netherlands.

She began playing piano at the age of 6. Musically influenced by nationally honored teachers on piano and conducting in the Academic Musical College of Moscow Conservatory, her focus switched to jazz piano.

Anna studied with top European jazz pianists Giorgos Kontrafouris (Greece, Ionian Music Academy), Frank Giebels (Netherlands, Maastricht Conservatorium), Miguel Rodriguez (Netherlands, Codarts University For The Arts), UNESCO artist Etibar Asadli (France) and many more.

Passionate about ethno-jazz, she arranged her life-music journey through the Balkan countries, Greece, Caucasia and Europe, where she studied ethnic music and jazz piano. 

Anna Frank developed a unique curriculum for the specialization "oriental piano" - crossover between jazz piano and traditions of eastern makam and mugham. She is currently working on the music documentary film "Roots Of The Piano-Mugham Style".

Rich rhythmic patterns and melancholic melodies of the East, dissolved in the improvisational and harmonic possibilities of Western music - this is what inspires her creativity, and what she gladly shares with her listeners and students.

Anna strongly believes that music should be studied through playing and singing, while theoretical explanations should be kept to a minimum and complement live sound. The reverse way - from theory to the instrument or voice - is never effective. She observed this philosophy when learnt from both jazz musicians and ethnic music performers.

Her teaching supports the same approach. Being not only a pianist, but a professional vocalist, Anna encourages her students to gain music freedom and deep knowledge of harmony and rhythms through vocalization and playing piano. 

Structured way of presenting information, deep knowledge of methodology in jazz pedagogy and huge research experience made it possible to creat effective courses for jazz music education.

Being aware of the fact that jazz harmony, creating spontaneous piano arrangements and accompaniment, harmonic ear training are a stumbling block for many music lovers and players who can't truly express themselves and reach their music goals,

she was motivated to creat a series of courses "Hands-And-Ears For Jazz Harmony. Part I. Easy learning with a clear method" and "Hands-And-Ears For Jazz Harmony. Part II. Grow your repertoire fast" - published on the platform Udemy, in order to help others tell their musical stories.
