As a piano accompanist, Maja has worked with a number of singers, instrumentalists and choirs. And as a double bass player, she has performed with orchestras around Europe and worked with several leading conductors and soloists. Maya has also participated in numerous international masterclasses as a piano soloist, double bass soloist and chamber music player. ‘Teaching is not only my profession but also my passion. I have been teaching children and adults ranging in age from four to over sixty for many years, and my experience with such a variety of students has helped me to develop an individual approach to each of them. What they all have in common is that I talk to them, ask them about their musical goals and dreams and help them to achieve these through our lessons together.’
