Anna Magdalena is flexible in her language and her images; what is important to her is individual learning, development and discovery. This makes learning the piano an adventure and a very special enrichment.’

She was very supportive during my time with her and one of my favorite experiences from her lessons was that she not only taught me how to play a piece on the piano, but also how to express emotions with it. By showing me how important it is to know when to play notes at different volumes and lengths, I was able to significantly improve my piano playing."

She has helped me to develop healthier practicing habits and a clearer artistic direction which has significantly improved my playing. Her lessons were designed to target my weaknesses and push me to close the gaps in my technique without focusing on expression and artistry."

I started playing the piano at the age of 10. At 14, I discovered my love for jazz. At 19, I began studying jazz piano seriously, and also began performing and working on various musical projects. I hold a bachelor's degree in jazz piano from the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts and a bachelor's degree in music education from the Jam Music Lab Private University, as well as years of experience as a private piano teacher.

She regularly performs as a duo with singer Judith Sauer.
A particular focus of her repertoire is the works of W.A. Mozart, with which she has been working intensively for several years now. The pianist and Mozart specialist Robert Levin plays an important role in this work. For many years, she received new impulses and inspiration every summer at his master classes. Through this work, Johanna Nemeschkal also began to play the fortepiano and eventually also became interested in historical improvisation and composition. To this end, she took lessons with the Swiss pianist Tobias Cramm.
Through her regular participation in various master classes, Johanna Nemeschkal constantly receives new inspiration from pianists such as Maria Joao Pires, Robert Levin, Andreas Staier, Markus Schirmer and Roland Batik.

"In Johanna, we have found a piano teacher who has introduced our two daughters to their love of music. She responded to their individual wishes and always managed to motivate the girls and make them surpass themselves. She invented great exercises that were not only fun, but also gave them a better understanding of music. Thanks to her enthusiasm, our older daughter even started to improvise herself. Highly recommended."

Johanna has this unique ability to articulate and engage in a way that teaches to combine one with the piano in producing the most soulful symphony with class and elegance. She taught and imparted me with abilities to create and find my tones and desired melodies. She teaches with gentle deep sincerity, a keen eye, and provides a very warm hearted learning environment. She was able to invoke and inspire me in ways to articulate through the piano using multiple senses. My piano now produces sounds I've never thought I was capable of achieving. I am still amazed with how much I progressed under her care and guidance. I hope everyone gets to experience this musical journey as I did with her and they'll understand the deep confidence I feel after learning with her.

Immediately after these successes, Leon and his trio were invited to give concerts at the Stellenbosch Festival in South Africa, followed by concerts across Austria. At the age of 18, Leon Tomic played the first movement of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, thus fulfilling a childhood dream. Leon then decided to devote himself to jazz to broaden his musical horizons. In 2019, he released three piano albums: his first debut album (yes it is) with his own compositions, an album with recordings of pieces by Viennese bar pianists, and his second solo album (Homecoming). In 2020, he graduated with distinction from the Vienna Music Institute with a Jazz Concert Degree (IGP). He then began his MA Songwriting program in London (The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance), completing it in summer 2021.
