Last month, my student Anna was awarded one of the large scholarships of SEK 25,000 from the Uppsala association Musikens Hus V\u00e4nner, this took place at an award ceremony and concert at Uppsala’s own concert hall Uppsala Konsert & Kongress. The motivation from the association read: “Anna Jubro is a skilled pianist with great musical sensitivity, technical skill and genre breadth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is very active both as an accompanist and a soloist and has had a fantastic development over the years.” It is always gratifying as a teacher when one’s students get public recognition and also financial help on the way to a professional life in music. As her teacher in recent years, I also want to take the opportunity to comment that this fantastic development, which I absolutely agree with, is rooted among other things, in Anna’s solid work in handling the teaching she receives. She is one of my students who always records her lessons and regularly writes reflections that she sends me and which we often talk about in the lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, she has recently started to transcribe the lessons, which means that she writes down everything that is said on the lesson in order to increase insights and anchor deep learning. Admittedly a time-consuming method but one that gives very good results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have recently also learned that Anna and I share an interest in fantasy, something that is obvious here in a recording from a live concert in fantastic oufit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
