Anna Frank is a versatile pianist, arranger and music educator, based in The Netherlands.
She began playing piano at the age of 6. Musically influenced by nationally honored teachers on piano and conducting in the Academic Musical College of Moscow Conservatory, her focus switched to jazz piano.
Anna studied with top European jazz pianists Giorgos Kontrafouris (Greece, Ionian Music Academy), Frank Giebels (Netherlands, Maastricht Conservatorium), Miguel Rodriguez (Netherlands, Codarts University For The Arts), UNESCO artist Etibar Asadli (France) and many more.
Anna Frank developed a unique curriculum for the specialization “oriental piano” - crossover between jazz piano and traditions of eastern modal makam and mugham music.
Structured way of presenting information, deep knowledge of methodology in jazz pedagogy and huge research experience made it possible to create effective courses for jazz music education.
Being aware of the fact that jazz harmony, creating spontaneous piano arrangements and accompaniment, harmonic ear training are a stumbling block for many music lovers and players who can’t truly express themselves and reach their music goals,
she was motivated to create a series of courses “Hands-And-Ears For Jazz Harmony. Part I. Easy learning with a clear method” and “Hands-And-Ears For Jazz Harmony. Part II. Grow your repertoire fast” in order to help others tell their musical stories.
