I am a student at the Conservatory of Music and Ballet in Maribor and even though I am young, I have always had a passion for teaching. It could be helping with the orchestra or leading sectional rehearsals, it was never a burden to me. Quite the opposite.  As a student at the Conservatory, I'm still learning, but I don't think that's a bad thing, because it gives me experience and I can explain things from the perspective of a student.

I offer violin lessons for total beginners, beginners with couple months/years of playing and intermediate students.  I can also teach students who want to become a serious musicians or want to continue their path on conservatories, but only as an additional teacher.
On lessons, students can play program chosen by their primary teacher or program, which is decided by me, based on their skills and wishes. We will work on classical pieces as well as some chamber music pieces, scales, technique exercises and themed pieces for holiday seasons.

I have participated in a lot of competitions, where I received silver and gold awards. My biggest achievements are gold award and second place with 97/100 points at 6th international competition Golden Diapason in 2021, gold award with special prize for the best performance of Händel’s work at Best Classical Musician Awards 2022, gold award and first place on 14th World Open Online Music Competition in year 2023, being a soloist for Bach’s Concerto in a-minor, accompanied by Danica Koren’s Summer School orchestra and gold award with third place at TEMSIG in year 2024. In july 2022 I performed on winner's concert of Grand Prize Virtuoso Competition in Mozarteum in Salzbrug.  I also attended masterclasses with Sumina Studer, Wonji Kim-Ozim, Helfried Fister and Violeta Smailović Huart.
