              I started my journey with vocal training at the age of 5. At first, vocal classes were a therapeutic recommendation for me right after an accident in which I suffered a skull fracture of the right side of the cerebral hemisphere, which is mainly responsible for artistic abilities, creativity and imagination and abstract thinking. For this reason, practical classes in music had excellent effects on my problems with attention and concentration. Generally speaking, despite my young age, I felt an inner voice telling me constantly that music would always be with me, which meant that at all levels of education in various kinds of vocational counselling, not only did I set my sights on a future in music, but psychological tests also confirmed that I should find myself mainly in the artistic world. Year after year, I noticed that not only my perception and concentration improved, but also my vocal skills themselves, the development of which became my passion. Through the development of my singing, I felt every sound around me more subtly and clearly. As I got older, I appreciated each type of music more and more. This was especially true when I started playing the piano at the age of 12. The prospect of joining hands while playing was very difficult to accept at first, but over time I saw more and more positive effects carrying over into my life.

              During my secondary school years I additionally started to study classical piano professionally and at the same time I started the Secondary Music School in the Jazz Vocal class. It was during this period that my understanding and perception of music completely changed. It was all thanks to learning about and being exposed to more advanced popular harmony, which predominates mainly in jazz, but we also find elements of it in musical styles such as R&B, Soul, Funk, among others, and now increasingly in the most common style found on almost all radio stations - Pop.

             After finishing high school and music school, I went on to study music, first with a major in choral conducting. It was a very intensive period of learning and experience for me, because at first I was almost afraid of conducting. I didn't understand and didn't see the total point of the role of a conductor in a musical ensemble, choir, philharmonic or any musical group. However, as time went on, maturing, experiencing more and more concerts, I felt the spirit of music building up in me again. I began to understand what responsibility rests on the shoulders of the conductor, and at the same time what beauty and enhancement of feeling the playing can stir up among the choristers and instrumentalists of the orchestra. During these studies, I nevertheless needed support to soothe and let go of stress. The ideal activities for me at the time turned out to be the study and practice of yoga. It was then that I had the opportunity to experience music therapy first-hand, thanks to additional meetings at the yoga school. It was led by a now heartfelt friend of mine who was playing Tibetan instruments at the time. With the first sound after striking one of the bowls, I momentarily fell in love with this cosmic sound. Subsequent correlations of the bowls with gongs or various bells put me in a state of blissful relaxation. Already then, I felt that this would be something in the future that I would want to interact with on a daily basis.

            My second course of musical study was to pursue jazz vocalism. By this time, I was already approaching the musical world more and more loosely, as I already had a certain amount of knowledge, so I could allow myself to have fun. The relaxation practice I gained from yoga classes or music therapy allowed me to take a wide and relaxed look at the music pouring out in the middle of rehearsal rooms, chamber halls, philharmonic halls and so on. My imagination was enriched and grew from concert to concert, from performance to performance.

           In both fields of study, I additionally had blocks of psychological-pedagogical courses, which proved to me that this was not the end of my fascination with life. In this field, too, I still had a wide scope for exploration, research and inquiry. This helped me to continue my teaching practice in many institutions and centres, i.e. cultural centres, schools and music centres. Eventually, I came to a place where I did not stand still with education. Every day, I set myself new goals in the broad field of education and develop new ideas with new projects in my work.
