My teachers include Simon Fischer, Christoph Poppen and Hagai Shaham. At the Guildhall School I have studied ‘Performance Teaching’ where I got acquainted with the latest approaches in teaching. I have extensive performing and teaching experience. I have been a member of the World Youth Orchestra, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and since 2005 I have been a permanent member of the Athens State Orchestra. I have taught the violin in Greece and the Uk for the last fifteen yers both privately and in music schools.
