Pavle Stankovic
About
I was born in Niš, Serbia, where I completed my elementary (under the guidance of Marko Lazarević) and secondary music education (under Bogdan Pejić) in the classical guitar department. I began my academic studies in 2015 in the class of mr Miloš Janjić. I have graduated in 2020 and earned my master's degree in 2023 from the Faculty of Arts in Niš, also in the class of mr Miloš Janjić.
During my studies, I regularly participated in masterclasses led by some of the most eminent guitarists of today, including Goran Krivokapić, Artyom Dervoed, Hubert Käppel, Giulio Tampalini, Nikita Koskhin, and Aleksandar Hadži-Đorđević.
I have won awards at both national and international competitions, and my first public performance took place in 2010 in Belgrade at the Festival of Young Composers, where I performed my first composition.
I began my pedagogical career in 2018 when I started giving private classical guitar lessons. My pedagogical career has led me to the "Petar Konjović" Elementary Music School in Belgrade, Serbia, where I have worked with young talents with great dedication, leading them to earn awards at guitar competitions.
Now I work at the International Music School "Eva", where I teach classical guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar.
Teaching Style
As an educator, I strive to pass on my performance and technical knowledge to my students by combining traditional teaching methods with modern approaches. I focus on developing musical interpretation, technical precision, and expressiveness in each student, with a special emphasis on individualized teaching methods tailored to their needs and talents.
I aim to provide my students with a broad musical education, introducing them to the richness of musical literature and styles, while also motivating them to always strive for excellence.
