"I am writing to offer my wholehearted recommendation for Dragana as a piano teacher and music educator. Having studied under her guidance for many years—alongside my daughter—I can confidently say that she is not only an exceptionally skilled musician but also a gifted and passionate teacher.
What sets Dragana apart is her genuine love for both music and teaching. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and it inspires her students to engage deeply with their musical journey, regardless of age or skill level. She has a remarkable ability to teach everyone from very young children to senior adults, always adjusting her approach to meet the unique needs of each student.
One of her greatest strengths is her talent for problem-solving. Whether it’s a technical challenge, a theory concept, or performance anxiety, she consistently helps students work through their obstacles with patience, creativity, and insight. Her thoughtful instruction style blends structure and discipline with genuine encouragement, creating a learning environment that is both productive and nurturing.
Having witnessed her work with students of different abilities and backgrounds, I can say with confidence that Dragana is not only a dedicated educator but also someone who leaves a lasting, positive impact on the lives of her students. She is the kind of teacher who builds confidence, inspires perseverance, and nurtures a lifelong love of music.
It has been a joy and a privilege to learn from her, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an outstanding piano teacher."

Ms. Dragana has been teaching my children since they were 4 and 5 years old. My oldest has completed all 10 levels of the Merit exams, and my youngest is now nearing the final level. Piano has been such a significant part of our lives, and through every step of the journey, Dragana has been there—supporting, guiding, and nurturing their growth, even during the challenging times.
What truly sets Dragana apart as a teacher is not only her exceptional pedagogical skills but also her remarkable ability to understand each of her students deeply. She adapts her approach to meet their individual needs, a rare and invaluable gift. My children would not have been able to navigate the ups and downs of learning music—especially during moments when they felt discouraged—without her unwavering support and expertise.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dragana as a teacher. She has a unique ability to help students flourish, both musically and personally.
