Anna’s violin education started with her mother Grazyna Zeranska, complemented with Zinaida Gilels, Zoria Chikmurzaeva and Igor Bezrodny, taking her to Munich to Ana Chumachenco and Indiana University to Miriam Fried. She completed the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic under the tutelage of Guy Braunstein. Her baroque violin influences have been Stanley Ritchie and Walter Reiter.
Anna plays on a Joseph Gagliano from 1794 on private loan and is a passionate student on the viola da gamba.
