Dear Mark, Mum passed on this very sad news. I can't imagine how sudden this was, my deepest sympathies to you. I wanted you to know how much I valued Anna's teaching when you came to Ballarat. I still credit her with putting me so far ahead of the curve in aural training in particular. She had us doing high level melodic and rhythmic diction in the middle high school years when nobody else seemed to be doing it in Australia. Years later when I auditioned for the conducting class at the Sibelius Academy in Finland we had a challenging three part melodic dictation test as the first part of the process. I managed to be the only candidate to get perfect score and was ultimately accepted into the class. I remembered thinking how lucky I was that Anna had arrived in Ballarat and given me such a rare and comprehensive aural training (even though I remember her being very shocked and dismayed at the general absence of proper aural training!) She was a remarkable teacher and person and I am very sorry for your loss. Hope that our paths cross at some point in future Mark. best wishes toy you, Ben

Oh Mark! I have a Polish piano technician here with me today working on my piano. I tracked you down on the internet, only to discover the sad news of Anna's passing. I'm so sorry Mark. I hope we might catch up one day. Ben is well & conducting in Hong Kong this weekend!
With every best wish & fond memories of Ballarat times. Wendy Northey

Dear Mark
Absolutely shocked to learn of Anna's passing.
I felt very much enjoyed our six monthly encounters with you both over many many years.
A wonderful person who will be sadly missed
With my sincere sympathy

She taught me to play the guitar. I was a disruptive student, but what i lacked in talent and interest, Mrs Jurkiewicz made up for in persistance and patience. She gave me an understanding of how music worked and playing guitar is now one of my greatest pleasures in life. When I teach my own son music, I can still hear her voice explaining the "tone tone semitone structure".

If someone has contact, please send me a message.
Rest in peace.
