Hi,
I am a professional composer of classical music and freelance music teacher based in Slovakia.
I am passionate about music education, particularly in providing an opportunity for students to compose, create their own music and find their own unique artistic personality. My aim in teaching is to equip students with the musical tools and techniques in order to help them perform, compose and make music effectively and creatively in their own individual way, where the skills learnt can build confidence and inform other aspects of their lives. I have a flexible, patient and interactive approach to teaching tailored to the individual needs of the student, where I am happy to teach those who would like to learn for pleasure as well as for graded exams and formal study.
My music has been heard on BBC Radio 3, WPRB, ABC Classic FM, Concertzender, ORF, Deutschlandradio, Lyric RTE FM, Klassikaraadio, Czech Radio, RTP Antena 2 Portugal, IBA Israel, Slovak Radio, Radio Beograd 3 and performed by ensembles such as the Lublin Philharmonic Orchestra, Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra, I.J.Padarewski State Philharmonic Orchestra, Camerata Europea, Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, and many others. Conductors who have championed my work include Anu Tali, Benjamin Bayl, Florian Ludwig, Miran Vaupotić, Paweł Przytocki, Paweł Osuchowski, Maria Makraki, Paweł Osuchowski, Miran Vaupotić, Gum Nanse, Peter Breiner, Peter Vrábel, Ivan Marković, Marián Lejava, Petr Kofroň, Dominika Kawiorska, Ondřej Kukal, Aleksander Gref and Karol Kevický. Performers of my music have also included artists such as organists Carson Cooman and Olena Matseliukh, harpists Floraleda Sacchi, Jana Boušková, Klára Bábel, Kristan Toczko and Adriana Antalová, clarinetists Martin Adámek and Guido Arbonelli, flautists Alex Griffiths and Rebecca Jeffreys, Cluster Ensemble, Quasars Ensemble, harpsichordists Elina Mustonen, Sonia Lee and Faythe Vollrath, violists Martin Ruman and Saša Mirković with his Ensemble Metamorphosis, NeoQuartet, Trio Contraste, Mucha Quartet, ARTE Quartett, Slovak Chamber Orchestra, Veni Ensemble, cellists Piero Salvatori, John Alex Heley, Darry Dolezal, Jozef Lupták, Jan Bogdan and Eugen Prochác, oboe player Piet Van Bockstal, Czechoslovak Chamber Duo, Duo Ahlert & Schwab, accordionists Boris Lenko, Peter Katina, Grzegorz Palus, Alena Budziňáková, Ghenadie Rotari and Rocco Anthony Jerry, violinist Milan Paľa, Nao Higano「日向野 菜生」, guitarists Ondrej Veselý and Martin Krajčo, trumpet player Ivano Ascari, cimbalom player Enikő Ginzery, pianists Jordana Palovičová, Magdaléna Bajuszová, Mayuko Kida Takine and Katarzyna Musiał, saxophonist Christian Segmehl, and Slovenian Clarinet Quartet, and performed at venues including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall (Southbank Centre), The Place, and Milton Court Concert Hall. I also love collaboration, where I have worked with film directors, visual artists, dancers and choreographers on numerous projects.
Availability: Available weekdays, evenings and school holidays. My schedule is generally flexible, so please enquire if you are interested in online-lessons.
I am happy to teach student(s) of any age and ability, from children to adult learners.
