Jane Hammond

Jane was born in London, and shortly afterwards moved to Nizhny Tagil, Russia where she graduated from her music school with distinction. Her piano professor was Smelyanskaya Ludmila Zelmanovna, the Head of the Music Department in Nizhny Tagil College of Arts. Jane participated in numerous competitions and festivals each year, always winning first and second prizes. She moved to London in 2013 to study at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama under the guidance of Dr Michael Schreider, where she was offered a fully-funded place. Jane has finished a Bachelor of Music Degree programme at the Royal College of Music with Nigel Clayton, while supported by the Stuart Roden Scholarship and the Henry Wood Accommodation Trust. She has then continued her studies at the Royal College of Music on a one year Master of Music in Performance course, with help from the Biddy Baxter and John Hosier Music Trust.  

Jane has performed at concert venues including the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Blackheath Halls, Eltham Palace and St Martin-in-the-Fields. Her passion for music and the experience that she gained in Russia and London, has given her a diverse and cultured appreciation for music that enables her to teach from different perspectives. She encourages, inspires and teaches students to pursue their passion in music of all abilities - from beginners to advanced levels.
