About Martina
I am a keen music teacher and performer based in London. I trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and obtained my Specialist Diploma from the Prague Conservatoire. I am a trained flute player, but also enjoy teaching piano and music theory. Curious about different musical traditions, I perform classical music, Brazilian music, jazz and original music. I am passionate about helping students of all abilities access music. I have experience teaching all ages, and enjoy helping my students achieve their musical goals and discover their creative potential. I have worked for several music schools, currently Young Music Makers in London. I taught sessions at the International School of Prague and International School of Music and Fine Arts Prague, and prepared students for performances and competitions as part of the Czech music education system. These days, I split my time between teaching, practising, performing, and recording activities. I have been training and performing with Rhythms of the City samba band, with whom we have recently performed at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. I lead my own band Aquarela specialised in Brazilian music. We have recently performed at Dona Bar in Stoke Newington or at the Hide Tide Festival 2022. Thanks to my university, I have had the privilege to perform in jazz bands alongside artists like Julian Joseph, Joe Stilgoe, Tim Garland, Ivo Neame, or Iain Ballamy. As an orchestral player, I have toured all over Europe with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (BBC Blue Planet II Tour 2019, including concerts for 10K audiences), the Czech National Symphony Orchestra (UK Tour 2018, including venues like Cadogan Hall, Bridgewater Hall or Birmingham Symphony Hall) and the Pilsen Philharmonic (Harry Potter 3 Tour 2019). I performed a whole season of the Phantom of the Opera production in Prague. I have played in numerous opera and ballet productions with the North Bohemian Theatre, including master pieces like Nabucco, Aida, The Bartered Bride, The Barber of Seville, Peer Gynt, or Swan Lake. I have played symphonic performances with the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Pardubice, Talich Philharmonia, and contemporary music with the Berg Orchestra. In the UK, I have had the pleasure to play with the Southampton Philharmonic Society, World Harmony Orchestra, Les Fauristes Chamber Choir and Orchestra, or Adoramus Orchestra (Royal Albert Hall 2017).

Martina has taught our daughter for over a year now. She is very reliable, well organized and, above all, great with younger children. Our daughter is seven and very much enjoys her lessons, thanks to Martina’s patience, gentle encouragement, and great teaching technique. I highly recommend Martina as a teacher.
Martina is a lovely person and teacher. I took lessons of English with her, focusing on developing my English for work. She made me feel comfortable and encouraged me to become more confident in speaking. She helped me prepare for important presentations and meetings. I feel I made considerable progress and would happily recommend her to anyone who wnats to take their English skills to the next level.
Martina was a great find for us - our eldest daughter wanted to learn flute and the youngest, piano. She adapted her style to both, and was excellent at finding techniques to keep both engaged and motivated in technique, reading, improvising and enjoying themselves, or as my eldest puts it, “she’s a good teacher because she’s good at explaining and stuff”
I took online lessons of English as a Foreign Language with Martina, focusing on conversation and business English. She is an excellent teacher - professional, organised and makes lessons challenging yet fun. I felt I made a lot of progress during my lessons. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, friendly teacher!
Martina is 100% professional and reliable, with a very approachable manner which makes lessons enjoyable - however I am playing!
I started as a complete beginner & she managed to make me feel confident & positive from early on. She personalises the lessons around my learning style, and has incorporated my music preferences. Her suggestions for how I approach learning during & between classes have been really helpful.
I have enjoyed learning with Martina and recommended her to others who have also been impressed with her teaching.I had online English lessons with Martina. She is a great teacher who really cares for her students' learning. She helped me gain confidence in speaking and writing, and gave me excellent tips on learning new vocabulary in everyday life. She is very warm and encouraging, and makes her lessons fun and enjoyable.
Martina, has been teaching my 3 children (11, 13 & 15) for over a year now. The wonderful thing about how Martina teaches Is she allows them to pick tunes they want to learn. As soon as they can hear themselves playing familiar music their enthusiasm is lit and they want to learn more. Martina, is an knowledgable approachable, friendly & professional teacher, who has strived regardless of the lockdown to ensure we have not missed a lesson during the pandemic, her lessons over zoom have been just a great as her lessons in person. I can not recommend Martina highly enough. ‘
I've been having lessons with Martina for over the last year, not only has she made these lessons fun and exciting. She really knows how to break down the areas I was struggling with and explained them in ways I could understand. From ear training to improvising, she's got you covered!
My flute playing has come a long way since I started and I couldn't recommend anyone better!I really loved lessons with Martina. She is a great flute player and she can pass her experience on to her students very well. She taught me classical music, jazz, modern music and also improvisation or playing by heart, so the lessons were enjoyable and not boring at all. She was patient and when I needed help with something I didn’t get, she was ready to explain it again and again. Thanks to her I didn’t give up playing the flute but I’m loving it. She is the best teacher I’ve ever had.
Martina is an excellent music teacher. I was her employer in Prague for two years. She taught my clients flute, recorder and guitar. Her students made considerable progress and performed well in end-of-term concerts. My clients appreciated her friendly and enthusiastic approach. She was always professional and committed to her work. I can happily recommend her for any future students wishing to take their music to the next level.
