Teaching Philosophy
As a musician and a music teacher one never stops learning. Although I have been singing for more than 20 years and teaching for over 10 , every day I learn something new: a new song, new interpretation of an old song, new technique, new layer of understanding of the long-known text, new way of explaining a well-known technique, or new ways of polishing vocal mastery. This ability of limitless growth is what I love about music and what I try to pass to my students together with all the technical aspects described earlier. Each student has their own needs and goals and each one learns differently, so I try to explain the same fundamentals in a way and at a pace suitable for each particular student. Singing is fun, everyone knows that. Not everyone knows, though, how much practice is hidden behind each song performed on stage. To become a good musician one must be patient, work hard, and love music with all their heart and than the joy that comes from small and large accomplishments and achievements and from music making itself will surpass all expectations!
