About Ivan
- I have taught professionally and continuously for 15 years (music schools, private lessons, seminars)

--plucked string instruments: guitar (electric, classical, acoustic; playing with fingers, plectrum and slide), bass guitar, popular traditional instruments (balalaika, banjo, mandolin, tamburitza, ukulele)
--keyboards: acoustic and electric piano (Clavinet, Rhodes, Wurlitzer), organ (Hammond), synthesizer
--music theory: harmony, polyphony, arranging, discipline of musical instruments, musical forms
- I have taught and I teach in various music schools most music genres: classical, jazz, latin, pop, R&B and soul, rock, traditional
- I teach to a wide range of ages, from beginners to advanced (individually and in groups), persons with disabilities and special needs
- With the quality of my teaching I have earned the trust of my pupils, their parents, superiors and colleagues. I have inspired many of my pupils to strive towards exceptional performances, to become professional musicians and have therewith also inspired any of my colleagues to become better teachers.
- I teach by sight reading traditional and contemporary notation, by the absolute and relative method and I teach by ear
- For precision in rhythm and tempo I use a metronome in my teaching
- I teach my pupils to be skilled in improvising with different styles
- I approach every pupil individually focusing on their motor skills, cognitive development while also considering their emotional stages
- Right from the beginning I teach every pupil to be independent by using the correct techniques for practice exercises, by accepting the artistic rules of expression and to develop creative personal expression in playing
- Through my various teaching methods, techniques and personal pedagogical expression, I engender and strengthen great dedication from my pupils to learn about music and how to play their chosen instrument

Perfect! Very quick and kind reply to our request. At the end we did not get to work together, but already the first contact round shows great professionalism and we would def. go back and request lessons from Ivan if needed.
Perfect! Ivan is a great teacher
Ivan is a extremely knowledgeable teacher who i got into contact with after trying and failing to learn music theory on my own, Ivan has been very understanding and receptive to my weaker points and manages to structure our lessons in a way which makes learning music theory fun yet challenging. He is also well informed when it come to types of music ranging from pop, funk, jazz, rock and more.

Ivan is talented and immensely dedicated. He shapes the lessons according to the student's interests, which is very helpful when you're an adult and have a particular outcome in mind. He is patient, friendly and won't hesitate to extend the class by a few minutes if that will help to finish the lesson. He is also really interested in music and I've enjoyed chatting with him about music from across the world.

I highly recommend Ivan as a music teacher for adults and children. Ivan is a gifted teacher. He takes each lesson personally and invests his time and energy to improve your playing.I have learned so much from him in a short period of time. Both my daugther (8) and I (49) take lesson from him and we enjoy it.I reccomend Ivan to any serious musician who wants to take their playing to the next level!

Ivan is extremely professional and friendly for my first piano lesson and I am excited to continue my piano learning journey with him. He was able to adapt the teaching style and plan to my personal goals and ambitions. He is a generous and kind teacher and has over a decade of teaching experience and is a gifted composer. I strongly recommend his tutoring.
Subject : Piano
Outcome : I will continue learning piano with Ivan.Perfect! Excellent teacher
I am a self-taught recording musician, and as a child was able to read music and play violin however I have forgotten all this since so decided to get piano lessons. I recently had my first piano lesson with Ivan. He was patient, explained everything thoroughly and answered any questions I had. He was encouraging and engaging as a teacher, and I felt very comfortable. I will be booking further lessons and would recommend him to anyone looking to learn an instrument.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Studying guitar with Ivan was altogether a fantastic window into the world of music, through which I was exposed to new musical approaches and practice techniques, all in service of developing a great skill base and perception not limited to the instrument but including all musical aspects.
I was a student of Ivan Tikvicki and am a close colleague of his to this day. Ivan is a humble, professional and knowledgeable tutor with whom I have studied guitar for years. He is well capable of teaching with great success a wide variety of musical styles; from classical music, pop, all genres of rock music, funk to jazz and more. His approach towards his students is very individualistic in the sense that his goal is to extract the best out of you as a student. You have all my recommendations for Ivan, he is a excellent teacher, great friend and all in all wonderful human being.
