Katerina began her piano studies in the Czech Republic at the age of seven and continued until graduating from High School. Because she enjoys working with children, she taught piano at a Day Care Center in Prague where she taught for ten years. Since coming to the United States, she is continuing her music education at Bergen Community College and has continued to work with children as a part-time nanny. She enjoys teaching the more modern American style of piano study that Phred Piano Expression offers. She finds her students respond to this much faster than they do to the European system. |
