Besides my lyrical artist career, I have also dedicated myself to my teaching career, because I absolutely love to teach, I could say just as much as I love singing. I believe that some of my considerable advantages when it comes to teaching are: patience, my warm and open nature which allows me to get closer to my students, as well as perseverance and meticulousness. I am a singer who, besides innate qualities, has always built the instrument on a conscientious and rational basis, thus trying to study and understand this entire complex singing mechanism, both from the mechanical and the physiological perspective. This is why I found it so much easier to explain to my students what was going on inside them, to help them build their instrument, to restrain themselves, to be capable of performance even when their emotional state or health prevented them from doing so. I teach them that they should be the ones mastering the voice and not the other way around. I consider myself to be an ambitious, perseverant, communicative and sociable person, I am not one to easily give in to stressful situations and my life motto has always been: "There is no such thing as I can't, there is only I don't want to".
