Miroslav Tadic is a well-known Serbian guitarist, and I hope I can perform with him, playing some Balkan folk music together.

Debussy. The voice leading and polyrhythms in his compositions are incredible and innovative. A lot my composition is inspired from him.

I emphasize positions and gestures. I believe that no matter which instrument I'm teaching, it's important to relax the body and not add extra tension to the arms, fingers, wrists, etc. I continually remind my students of the correct hand positions, and maintaining proper gestures helps when learning more complicated skills.

I began with private lessons and also taught myself. It's wonderful to have someone coach me for my performances, but I also enjoy exploring and learning techniques, like belting, on my own in singing.

I'm a very patient person and willing to take baby steps for building up an virtuoso skill.

I truly believe it is necessary to understand the personality of every child. Some kids learn quickly, but they often lack patience, so I always advise them to take things slow. I review the materials repeatedly until they fully grasp the concepts.

I've performed in a theater play, and it has been the greatest experience so far. I love how all the musicians hide in the pit just to produce sound, and we all have to really pay attention to the conductor.

Cinema has always been a big part of my life. I am enthusiastic about watching movies and enjoy analyzing them, understanding the stories behind the scenes.
