Hello everyone!

Cello is one of the most beautiful instruments. Its sound is so close to the human voice. It sings, but it can be a virtuoso instrument as well!

I graduated with honours in 2016 the cello class of professor Jeroen Reuling at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels (Concert Musicus Program).
I finished master degree in the Academy of Music in Cracow (Poland) in a class of professor Zdzisław Łapiński. I also studied at the Leopold Mozart Zentrum Univesitat Augsburg within The Erasmus scholarship, in the cello class of professor Julius Berger. In addition I have been taking part in numerous masterclasses led by outstanding artists: Arto Noras, Gary Hoffman, Francois Guy, Ivan Monighetti, Frans Helmerson, J.Meissl, A.Rudin.

I also obtained a teaching certificate. During my PhD studies I have been leading classes for students, helping them to master their skills. In 2018 I've been an assistant at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

I am the first prize winner and special awards receiver in the following competitions: VII International Cello Competition in Liezen (Austria), VII International Independent
Competition "Individualis" in Ukraine, Festival Morningside Music Bridge in Canada,
Chamber Concert-Competition during the Young Artists Music Festival in Poznań (Poland), International Summer Academy PragWienBudapest - Prize for an outstanding interpretation of
a work of Bohuslav Martinu and Prize for the best String Soloist during the International Summer Academy PragWienBudapest and a Special Prize – CD/DVD Recordings with
Hungaroton Music Company and Achord Pictures, II Cello Competition in Warsaw - 1st Prize with honor and Special Prize of the Rector of The Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and a laureate: IX Desiderius Danczowski National Cello Competition in Poznan, International Competition Johannes - Andreas Stain Competition in Augsburg (Germany), International Competition “Talents for Europe” in Dolny Kubin (Slovakia), Michal Spisak
International Music Competition (Poland) and the Kazimierz Wilkomirski International Cello
Competition in Poznan. In 2014 I won a Prize founded by the Polish Minister of Culture and
Heritage in the Concert of the Year 2014 organized for the best musicians of the Polish
Academies of Music.

I was also a participant at the eminent international festivals in different countries:
International New Music Festival “Missa Est” in Munich, Kronberg Academy, Young Talent
Music Festival in Schiermonnikoog (Holland), European Chamber Music Academy in Vilnius
(ECMA), International Musical Enghien Encounters (Belgium), Summer Chamber Music
Festival “Wawel at dusk” at the Royal Wawel Castle in Cracow, International Contemporary Music&Visual Arts in Bydgoszcz (Poland), Ohrid Summer Festival (Macedonia), Encuentro
de Musica Academia de Santander (Spain), Viana Summer Festival (Portugal).
As a soloist I performed under the direction of Krzysztof Penderecki and Jerzy Maksymiuk. I'm giving concerts on the stages of many countries, both as a soloist, chamber and orchestra musician.
In 2017 I went for an international tournee (USA) with quintet labeled by Lincoln Center Stage.

I recorded for the Academy of Music in Cracow, ORF Radio Kulturhaus in Vienna, Festival “Morningside Music Bridge”, as a member of a cello ensemble “Cello Passionato”–
CD “4 for Peace”. She has taken part in the recording of Polish Cello Music – Dux Recordings.

I really like to teach. I have very good practicing methods and I make cello playing easy and understandable even for a beginner.

I'll be happy to meet you soon and help you to enter into fantastic cello world:)

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :

- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice

- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
