Dr Jana Bertova has been my daughter Mia’s piano teacher for two years, since the time we moved to Geneva from New York. From the beginning Mia was happy with her new teacher and established a strong bond with her. Dr Bertova had very interesting ideas about how and where Mia should continue with her piano. Mia has liked the repertoire her teacher suggested and she has enjoyed learning how to play it. Dr. Bertova helped her to improve her finger technique and to express the feeling of the music she plays. Dr. Bertova prepared iviia well for her ABSRM music exam which was reflected in Mia’s very good result. One of the judges for the Association for Music in International Schools competition which Mia attended in the Hague, pointed out how much he enjoyed her lively playing with lots of character. I think that Mia has gained a lot by having Dr. Jana Bertova as a teacher. The respect Mia has for her has helped her develop as a young pianist. During the time we have known her, Dr. Bertova has shown a great and sincere joy in teaching. Her devotion to her students is inspirational and I cannot recommend her too highly.
