Philosophy
Izabela believes that every student is an individual and shall be treated like so. Her music approach is all about open-mindness, understanding one’s pace as well as broadening students’ horizons based on their interests, characteristics and overall goals.
Flexible with different genres and styles herself, she is always encouraging students to find their own voice and field they are being their most authentic selves in.
Music positively impacts a day-to-day performance. Whether at work or at school, it encourages the development of social skills’ and creates an outlet for creativity and innovation that is crucial to our brain stimulation at any age and time.
There are two primary elements music teacher should acknowledge before any further steps in long educational process will be taken: first of them is identification of the student such as the age, experience, character and the major musical/technical problems. Second one is an ample collection of materials and systems which are useful enough not only to teach the new approaches but also solve previously acquired difficulties.
Thanks to this carefully tailored system not only everyone can learn the instrument but everyone can play the instrument!
