Bozena Nakov

Bozena has played for me several times over the past few years during the Holidays. Her music is beautiful… and she always has a great selection of Holiday songs! But I think my favorite part is her opening song… always our National Anthem! She is profoundly appreciative of this country… and the liberties and freedoms we enjoy!

I started with Ms. Nakov at the start of high school and she brought me to the highest level in the California Music Teacher’s Association Certificate of Merit Program within 4 years! She was always very patient with me and I really enjoyed learning from her. She was trained in Europe and has a very thorough teaching regimen which included everything from hand positioning to theory to musicality. She had me keep a notebook of things to work on and documented every lesson we had so that I can see my progress. I was accepted at Harvard partly due to my accomplishments in piano under her guidance. I only wish I had started earlier with her!

Bozena is one of the finest and most accomplished European-​trained piano teachers in the South Bay. With over 25 years teaching experience, many of her students have received top MTAC awards, commendations and special recognition for their musical accomplishments. Lessons are available at either her centrally-​located Rolling Hills residence or at the student’s home. Starting with the youngest students (aged 5 or 6 years old) or all the way up to 89 years young, Bozena is able to create a custom program that meets the individual’s musical goals. Beginners to advanced, all are welcome!
So many of Bozena’s students have learned so quickly and really love learning with her! Let’s face it, learning to play the piano is something that you take with you everywhere you go and will stay with you forever.
But best of all, Bozena has a true love and passion for music. She is patient and able to make even the most complicated pieces seem easy! If you are looking for a new piano teacher either for yourself or your child, look no further!
