«I firmly believe that music is not just a landscape of sound, but also a language of emotions. In my music, it's not just about playing notes, but rather about making a connection – a connection between me, my instrument, and my audience. Each note is an expression of my soul, and every note tells a story»

"For me as a musician, teaching is a very important aspect.
I enjoy it very much, and it helps me to be happy. It is a great responsibility because each student is unique, and you have to find a way to unfold their potential.
The role of the teacher is extremely important. And the main goal is to evoke sparkling and motivated eyes in every student..."
