Where and with whom did you train?
I studied in Poland for 3 years with Zygmunt Jochemczyk. I have studied in Germany (MusikHochSchule in Luebeck) with Naomi Seiler and at the Trinity College of Music in London with Rivka Golani - recognized as one of the great violists and musicians of modern times.
Also I had been taking part in a number of masterclasses and workshops.
Tell me about some of your current students.
I have a couple of young students - age between 9 and 13. One construction manager in her mid twenties, one lawyer and one retired chef executive. All very keen and dedicated. Each one of my students is working in his/ her own pace - dealing with different issues and challenges. There is no 'one pattern' applied to everyone - I like to treat my students individually and treat each one of them as a unique case.
Do you have a personal message for students?
I believe we are all able to learn how to play violin/viola. All that is really needed is good guidance.
Using the exercises I recommend and building good and natural violin/viola technique will give you confidence and strength to play the instrument in a way you never thought you could.
