My name is Mariya Kircheva (MK).

I am a professional and experienced

music, harp, piano and music theory tutor.

I am a keen musician and I have been

playing music from the age of five.

I started teaching music at the age of 18,

when I graduated The National School of Music

and Dance Art in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

 I have found that teaching is something that

I am not just passionate about,

but it is one of the most important area in my life.

I made a decision to improve my skills and

qualifications more and more each academic year.

I am currently having students for Level harp,

Pedal harp, Piano, and Music Theory. 

 I graduated Academy of Music, Dance and

Visual Arts in Plovdiv, Bulgaria with BA in major

Pedagogy in music teaching in 2013.

RQF Level 6 /SCQF Level 10 / CQFW Level 6

I have been awarded with Qualified Teacher Status from the Department for Education in the UK                                                                                                                            I am a member of the Music Union in the UK

                                                                                     I have experience in teaching music in Primary Schools and preparing                                              an outstanding Christmas and Easter performers.

                                                                                     I worked as a Principal Harpist in State Opera and Symphony Orchestra in                                                        Plovdiv,Bulgaria by the period of three years (2015-2018)

                                                                                          In 2018 I became the first voluntary harpist on SS Great Britain Ship in                                                                                                       Bristol, UK, where I really enjoyed to perform every weekend before                               the Pandemic had started.

                                                                                                            I specialise in classical music and I also have a good knowledge                                       of a range of musical styles.

                                                                                                            I love to learn as much as I love to teach, and hope to pass this                                                enthusiasm on to my own students.

                                                                                         In 2020 I successfully completed the Level 3 Award in Special Educational Needs and I have three years of experience working

with SEN children in Primary School in Bristol,UK

I passed a Music Therapy Course in 2023,where I studied

about the different mental health and behavioural issues that

music therapy can be used to treat and the advantages

of using this therapy for treatment. 

I have an Enhanced DBS check.

In addition to a general enthusiasm for music and good

teaching skills, I also have a good communication abilities,

self-motivation and organization and a patient and

encouraging approach.

My goal as a teacher is not just to teach the children how

to play the particular instrument or/and music theory,

but also they to become a better and more organized people.
