Music has been at the centre of my life for more than twenty years, both as a performer and as an educator. During this time, I have had the opportunity to experience many different sides of the musical world: orchestras, chamber ensembles, wind bands, solo performances, and educational projects. Although my roots are firmly in the classical tradition, I have always been curious about other artistic fields and genres. Collaborating with theatre companies—and even with a circus company—has enriched my perspective as a musician and taught me new ways of creating, rehearsing, and working together.

​

My musical journey began in a wind band. I did not choose my instrument myself. When I first enrolled in music school, my parents thought the clarinet would suit a rather small and skinny girl. Looking back, I would say they made an excellent choice.

​

Over the years, I fell in love not only with the clarinet but also with the bass clarinet. I am fascinated by its versatility and by a sound that is often underestimated: warm, expressive, and capable of singing with a unique voice in a lower register. More recently, I have also developed a closer relationship with the piano, initially out of teaching necessity. We make a good team, although our relationship is certainly different from the one I have with the clarinet family.

​

If music has taught me one lesson above all others, it is humility. Whenever you begin to think you have mastered something, all it takes is stepping outside your door to discover someone who can do it better. And that is one of the most beautiful things about music: there is always more to learn, explore, and understand.

​

Teaching entered my life almost by accident, but I chose to stay. Today I have the privilege of working with students of many different ages and levels, from young beginners at music schools to Master’s students in higher education. What I hope my students will remember years from now is not only what they learned, but how they felt while learning. I would like to be remembered as a teacher who was demanding and serious when necessary, but who also made lessons enjoyable and inspiring.

​

I firmly believe that music is one of the most wonderful forms of play. Learning can be joyful. Curiosity, creativity, and discipline can grow together. I try to help my students understand that goals are achieved step by step, through consistent daily work, and that mistakes are not failures. A mistake is simply part of the journey, and life always offers another opportunity to try again.

​

Some of my most rewarding moments happen long after a lesson has ended. I am always deeply touched when former students—or their parents—tell me that they still remember a particular conversation, a small achievement, or a shared moment in the classroom. Those memories remind me that music education is about much more than learning notes and rhythms.

​

Especially when working with younger students, I am aware of the trust that families place in their teachers. Children who come to music lessons are not necessary future musicians; they are future adults. Music certainly teaches us how to play an instrument and understand different musical styles, but it also teaches us how to listen, respect others, work as a team, and support one another.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope you enjoy exploring it.

As for me, I will do what passionate musicians always do: head back to the practice room.
