…allowing every musical decision to be supported by historical evidence while remaining a living artistic expression.

resEARch

My current doctoral research — understood as a process of research and practice — investigates the relationship between Beethoven’s sonatas, nineteenth-century transcription practices, and the development of the flute repertoire. By combining historical sources, music theory, and artistic experimentation, I explore how transcription can become a method of musical discovery, offering new perspectives on interpretation and historically informed performance.

…helping musicians reconnect with their artistic voice.

mentoring

The idea was created in response to conversations with students, graduates, and professional flutists who often describe the same experience: feeling stuck, losing motivation, or questioning their place as musicians.

The mentoring programme is built around three connected pillars: One-to-One Sessions, Masterclasses, and Fl@owisko. Together, they create a comprehensive approach to artistic development—from personalised mentoring and tailored growth strategies, through collaborative learning in masterclasses and lectures, to an international community where musicians, teachers, and students continue exchanging ideas, experiences, and inspiration long after the lesson ends.

The goal is not to shape musicians into a particular style, but to help them recognise and trust their own.
