My experience with music goes back since I have memories. Music has been in my life and family and this is why I decided to become a professional musician and study hard to improve my skills and knowledge. My first piano lession I had 10 years and my first professional keyboard I was 15. Drums came along with my brothers toy drum to finally buy a real kit. All my brothers are a musician and it really helped to open to different styles and concepts. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
There are numerous projects I’ve been involved in that fill me with pride. For instance, the awards I’ve received from the Beyond Music organization. However, what truly excites me the most about the impact of music on my life is the numerous friends I’ve made through music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
At that time, I was listening to rock music, which primarily consisted of vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. Several of my friends played the guitar, but the drums resonated with me the most.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
What initially inspired me to make music was listening to music and the desire to be able to play that music myself. My teacher further fueled my enthusiasm by providing me with the necessary tools and encouraging me to continuously explore and embrace new musical genres, even those that might initially seem unfamiliar.
When will I start to see results?
Typically, in the initial stages, there will be very rapid results. However, after a certain period, which varies from student to student, there might be a slight plateau in the learning curve. Nevertheless, improvement continues. Ultimately, the time spent practicing the instrument is one of the sole factors that contribute to achieving results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child is unique, of course. Depending on their age, one option is to try a group class, not necessarily for a specific instrument, but rather for a general introduction to music that showcases various instruments.
If individual lessons are preferred, meet with the teacher to gauge compatibility and comfort for you and your child. A good and reputable teacher will never pressure you into a contract without an initial “getting-to-know-each-other” phase. They will also welcome parents to attend lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Here are a few pointers regarding efficient and effective practicing:
**Make it enjoyable:** Practice things you are interested in and which bring you fulfillment. However, don’t be afraid to challenge yourself.
**Be consistent:** Instead of dedicating an hour once a week, try practicing for 15 minutes four times a week.
**Focus on quality over quantity:** 20 minutes of dedicated and focused practice are far better than 60 minutes of sporadic or distracted practice (“noodling” around).
**Take breaks:** taking five-minute breaks during a session or a day off in between sessions helps your body and mind integrate new material more effectively.
**Be patient:** Some things will show in your playing immediately, while others may take weeks or months to find their way into your playing.
In my lessons, I delve deeper into all of these points and explore many more aspects of fun and creative practicing.
