Advance to Music Piano Studio
About 1

My love for playing the piano started in my early childhood.

I remember begging my mother to sign me up for piano lessons. We did not have a piano, so she rented one, signed me up for lessons, and my journey with music began. 

My dream was to learn how to play the piano very well and as fast as I could. I took piano lessons twice a week, every week for many years. I performed classical repertoires at many recitals, competitions, and concerts. Still, I felt like learning was taking so long… I could not wait to play better, more advanced pieces. 


I had great piano teachers.

I was fortunate to learn from great piano teachers like Donka Jivkova, Silvia Gocheva, and Svetla Stoyanova, who greatly encouraged my love for music. They inspired me to work consistently toward my goal to be my very best. 

I continued my studies in piano performance throughout my high school years. I was accepted to the Kliment Ochridski University in Sofia, Bulgaria where I studied Music Theory, Piano Performance, History of Music, Choir Directing, and Music Pedagogy. I graduated, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with a Major in Elementary Education, and a Specialization in Music Education.
