"It doesn`t matter if you like classical, folk or jazz music. As long as you are willing to dive into it, and share the joy with others, you are a happy man"-personal thought

I have travelled the world with several orchestras and chamber ensembles, gaining some priceless experiences.

None of this would have happened without the guidance of the great teachers I met, who excited me with their insights, inspired me with their personalities and kept me on the right track with their patience.

Being able to share all of this and create these special student-pupil connections is a goal that I have invested myself in for more than 6 years, and as long as I have my head on the shoulders I will keep at it.
