I spent my childhood in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In our house there
was my dad’s old piano, so it somehow went without saying that my sister and
I attended piano lessons. Already as a child, I loved to sing, I loved solfeggio
even more than the piano, and I remember our music school and my sorrow
when I saw it was completely destroyed in 1993, during the war.
Having completed grammar school and secondary music school, I went to the
Music Academy in Zagreb, Croatia, where I took a degree in music education.
After that, I came to Luxembourg (as a love refugee), in 1986, and started
working as a babysitter for a Luxembourgish family. In that house not only did
I take pleasure in an old piano I found there, but I also formed many
friendships that I have continued to cultivate until today.
That’s how I wrote my first compositions and felt a desire to continue this
musical journey. The song Route d’Arlon from my second album is dedicated
just to that house.
Following several years of intensive learning of both French and and
Luxembourgish, I found a job in my profession, in the French secondary school
“Lycée Vauban”, where I started to teach music education. After that, I worked
in the “Yamaha” music school with younger children. That gave me the idea to
start working independently and to found my own music school in 2002.
I think that by teaching the piano to the youngest ones, through games and
songs, I succeeded in fulfilling myself. In short, I enjoy working with children so
much that I can say they are my main inspiration. Musikand was open in 2002,
and since then I have been working with great pleasure, using my own
programmes, textbooks and compositions, as well as exercises adapted to my
students.
