Anna is a London-based full time freelance saxophonist and flutist working as a live performer and studio session musician, bandleader, composer and arranger. She specialises in jazz and improvisation but works on a diverse range of projects in live as well as studio settings across all genres, from jazz, Latin American and flamenco to funk, soul, reggae and indie, and has collaborated with UK and international artists and bands including Cimafunk, Cassandra Jenkins, Desta French, Steamdown, Berber Diffusion, New Regency Orchestra and Roberto Pla. Anna co-leads the original project Urvashi whose debut album was released in June 2024. She is also working on her own personal music project, with upcoming live performances and a release planned for next year.

With over four years of teaching experience, Anna has developed a personalised teaching approach rooted in her own educational journey: a blend of classical training, a jazz conservatoire degree, and self-taught techniques. She tailors lessons to meet each student’s goals, needs, and time commitments, ensuring that every session is productive and that learning is maximised with a realistic yet effective practice routine to follow at home.
