You started playing violin when you were only four. How did you decide on this particular instrument?<\/strong>
\n– My mom is a violin professor and we\u2019ve always had her students come to our house to practice. Dad or one of my grandmas would look after me during that time, but I would always somehow go into my mom\u2019s workroom with my toys, sit on the floor, listen to her class and play. My parents say I was really young when I asked to play an instrument, but there wasn\u2019t an adequat one for my tiny hands. Before I turned four, mom got me the smallest violin in Serbia, the so-called 1\/32 violin, and that\u2019s how I started to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though you are 13, you\u2019ve performed numerous times and have a lot of prizes that prove that violin is more than just a hobby to you. Did you know such success was ahead of you?<\/span>
\n<\/strong>– Absolutely no. At first, violin was a toy that helped me explore sounds and songs, but it turned out to be a lot more serious in just a couple of years. I was only five when I performed in my first international competition Fantast, where I scored 100 points and won the special prize in the category for children up to 9 years of age. It was the first time I got money as an award and that\u2019s when everyone started to predict my future career. We\u2019ll see if they were right.<\/span><\/p>\n
