Since the age of 11, when I began playing the harp, I have performed internationally in a solo, chamber and orchestra concerts in Bulgaria, France, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Dubai and the United Kingdom and have won two prizes of the International Competitions “Young Virtuosos” in 2009 and 2011 in Sofia.

As an orchestra performer, I have performed with professional and amateur orchestras in Europe, the United Kingdom and Dubai some of which are Classic FM Sofia, Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of Russe Opera House, Birmingham Philharmonic, Halesowen Orchestra, Dubai Chamber Orchestra and others.

Tutoring Experience:

As a music/harp teacher, I have years of experience in the private sector. I have prepared students for the music grade exams - ABRSM and Trinity, as well as non-professionally orientated personal pleasure. I aim to support my students to reveal their' true potential and to encourage them to play what they love.

Tutoring Approach:

I strongly believe that the students have to enjoy themselves in what they're doing. Therefore, I am always carefully selecting the teaching methods according to the individual's needs and desires. I am using a series of proven approaches of stimulation for a dedication to practice and perform. Moreover, I aim to encourage to do their best all the way to reaching the set goal! It is really important for me to encourage them, that with the required effort and work anything is possible. Therefore, I always search for the correct attitude in the problem-solving process.

I am keen to support your interests in music and work on what you love playing alongside with developing your technique and music making. If you are enthusiastic about taking grades exams I am happy to prepare you to a high standard for either ABRSM or Trinity exams. Lessons take place online, at the student's place (having an instrument of your own) and occasionally at my teaching studio. I can assist you with choosing the correct instrument and level if required.
