Andrea Smokvina, Certified Simply Music Teacher
Andrea started ballet classes and performing in the theater at the age of 6. She began studying piano at the age of 7. By the time she was 14, she was playing keyboard and singing in an all-girl band. Her decades of experience as a pianist, dancer, vocalist and performing artist have consolidated her belief that music is the natural expression of our emotions, and that we are here in life to express ourselves in this manner.
Andrea was attracted to Simply Music because it resonated with her own thoughts about music. She saw that Simply Music was designed in recognition of our inherent musicality, our need to express ourselves and PLAY piano through direct contact with the instrument.
Andrea brings her love of people, love of music and love of teaching to the fore as a Simply Music educator.
Passionate About Inspiring Others
"Learning music can be a challenging task, but starting with the piano can make it easier. The piano is an instrument that has all sounds assigned, which helps in training the hearing. It is a self-standing instrument that plays bass, harmony, and melody, making it rhythmical and melodic. Moreover, the piano's range of 7 octaves enables a student to read in all registers, making it easier to transition to other instruments."
