I started playing Accordion with my Gypsy Russian teacher when I was 12, before that I already played classical piano. He showed me the way into world music: Polka, Tango, Swing, waltz and more. From a young age I was performing in cafes, I used to improvise to make the songs sound longer because I didn’t know so many tunes in those days. As an adult I graduated in Jazz & World Music at Goldsmiths University of London and spent 15 years traveling around the world, and was exposed to “Father to son” teaching traditions. That inspired me to develop “Quick Notation Technique” (QNT), making music learning simple and accessible for all levels. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ME
