Grâce à un réseau de centres d'artistes et d'ateliers répartis dans le monde entier, Yamaha travaille avec des musiciens de premier plan pour soutenir leurs performances et développer des conceptions d'instruments et de nouvelles idées au profit de tous les musiciens. Les artistes Yamaha partagent avec nous la passion d'inspirer la prochaine génération de musiciens et la conviction que chacun doit être encouragé à cultiver son talent, à se rapprocher des autres et à raconter son histoire à travers la musique.

Statement about your relation with Yamaha or your instrument:
My father played in the Radio/TV Orchestra in Poznan, it was communist times and it was difficult to buy good instruments. He was one of the two musicians who had a Yamaha saxophone in our town (1989), and I learned YAMAHA as the name of the company. During my classical studies in Poznan and Gdansk we had the opportunity to practice on a Yamaha vibraphone, which was the best instrument at the percussion department at that time (1998)
How does your instrument help you in your daily life as an artist?
The sound of such an instrument inspires both during daily practice and at concerts.
You can enjoy great quality.
How would you characterize your instrument?
It's fantastic and I still can't believe I have it!
Who was your most influential teacher and is there any advice which you still follow?
As a young girl I met the Polish vibraphonist Bernard Masele, a professor at the Academy of Music in Katowice. He inspired me to learn to improvise, write my own music and to pursue my goal. Now many musicians inspire me and I try to keep this inner fire always hot.
What advice would you give to a musician who is just starting out in their career?
"Realise your dreams and try to find your own way".
"Music expresses what cannot be said and what cannot be kept silent about".
Victor Hugo
