“I have known Ivan since his days as a student at the renowned Varazdin School of Music in Croatia. Even then, it was evident that he was a highly talented and promising young pianist. Following his graduation from the Zagreb Music Academy, he assumed the role of a piano teacher and accompanist, marking the beginning of his musical journey.  As the principal of the school, I observed his professionalism as an effective pedagogue, adept at attracting young people to classical music. Even less motivated students experienced the joy of playing the piano under his guidance. Ivan's knowledge of piano literature is extensive, enabling him to connect with each student personally. In addition to his professional commitment, noteworthy characteristics such as diligence, hard work, loyalty, persistence, and patience set him apart. While his decision to relocate to Canada was a significant loss for our school, it undoubtedly benefits his future students in Canada. Given the mentioned qualities, I highly recommend Ivan to anyone aspiring to play the piano.“
