Let me properly introduce myself.
I started teaching music before I graduated. What began as helping younger kids when I was still a student myself quickly became a meaningful part of my life. Since then, I’ve spent over 16 years sharing music with students of all ages – my youngest was 3+, oldest 55 – helping them build motivation and confidence in their learning.

About Me.
Unlike the usual “fairytale” story, mine didn’t start with a childhood prodigy moment or a deep, burning passion for music. At that point, music felt more like an obligation than an interest. While my neighbour was busy charming the street with Chopin études, I wasn’t exactly brimming with motivation. Lessons felt intimidating, the goals always seemed miles away, and even though I was studying with one of the best teachers in town, the traditional approach just didn’t quite click for me.
And yet – plot twist – I ended up studying music at university. That’s when it all really started for me.
During my time at university, one teacher became a real turning point. She didn’t just teach me music; she taught me what it means to be patient, and how kindness can actually be felt. After that, I studied with another teacher who offered a very different, but equally important lesson:
"If you’re not invested, then neither am I." From him, I learned the value of time and not to waste it.
Later, I worked with a teacher who prepared students for international competitions – an environment that felt electric, high‑energy, and full of ambition. The process was intense, and the concerts were jaw‑dropping impressive.
As much as I loved that world, I quickly realized this path isn’t for everyone. Being behind the scenes – seeing the breakdowns, tears, and exhaustion – showed me just how much pressure the spotlight can place on some students. For a few, it made them thrive. For others, it was too intense – and that’s okay.
Learning is an experience, and everyone’s journey looks different. There will be tricky bits, off days, and moments where you’re a bit lost – and that’s totally normal. We all have our own quirks and rhythms, and my job is to help you find what suits you, walk it with you and have fun along the way!
