Working as a music teacher I took lessons
from famous composers such as V. Kotov, V. Chistiakov, B.Chaykovsky, V.Uspensky,
V.Riabow in Leningrad (St.Petersburg): Lev Obeliovich, Genrich Vagner,
Dmitry Smolski and Ury Semeniako in Minsk; Dr.Balakauskas in Vilnus.
I furthered my education, five more years,
at the Minsk`s Institute of Culture -- a University for choir / orchestra
conductors and for librarians.
Persecutions, my health condition and other
tragic events surrounding the lives of close relatives as well as my own
prevented me from exploring my musical studies: from joining music unions;
and in fact from pursuing a musical career.
The above explains , in a way, why I have
a very personal approach to musical creation. I much prefer to find a venue
for my finished works than to take on requested compositions.
