Teaching Philosophy
Music is fundamental part of my life. I have natural memory of sound and rhythm in my body and soul. As a performer, my body is a part of musical instrument. I always try to have a positive mind and soul looking at nature or beautiful art works in my daily life and try to build up healthy body focusing on stretching and relaxing my body with less tension. Healthy and positive body and mind are essential parts of successful learning process at any age and I always encourage my students to learn music with healthy and joyful body and mind.

I studied piano privately from the age of six until the age of eighteen. My piano teachers from my university years was trained in European countries, and was likewise detail oriented with exceptionally high standards. As a performer I trained with professional classical teachers during my university years having yearly recitals, Juries and concerts from music summer camps such as Orford music camp in Montreal or Adamant piano camp in U.S.A. In addition, I studied music composition from several teachers including a famous polish composer, Peter Paul Koprowski from Western University and Gary Kulesha from Toronto University.

Special Skills and Trainings
I spent my childhood listening to variety of music and creating my own music improvising on my piano. It was my natural tendency to memorize music listening by ears and re-producing the music in my own musical style. I also worked extensively as a sound designer for films and animations, These experiences have enriched me both as a composer, performer and a music teacher. With more than 20 years of performing, improvising, and teaching experience, music is essential part of my life.
