“My philosophy of teaching is to transfer all your knowledge, insights and the biggest secrets about the instrument to the student and at the same time to feel great happiness. I do this with immeasurable love and dedication and I look forward to their every little step forward.
When I give, I actually receive – it is the same in the profession and in life in general. That is how I am always happy.
It is very important that the care and attention to young people is focused not only on their work related to the instrument, but on their full growth and maturation – how to become successful people. Having such a professor as an example is the best possible explanation.
In addition to being a university professor, I have a long artistic career around the world as an oboe soloist. Besides this, I also had duties as head of the department, vice dean, dean and vice-rector of the University of St. Cyril and Methodius, as well as organizer or artistic director of a festival. I have to mention the most important thing for the end – a parent of two children. I consider the balance of all these activities as the greatest achievement, as well as being successful in everything that one does.
My humanitarian project would be based on children with special needs to come to a special music center in order to work with educated teachers. To let music make their lives more beautiful and meaningful, to make them feel the joy and love for music.”
