About music artist

MARGARITA PIOTROWSKA

I have been practicing music since I was a child. I was particularly fascinated with music of Frederic Chopin.  His masterpieces inspired me to learn how to play the piano, but my teachers claimed that my hands are created for cello. My adventure with cello started, but at the same time I was trained to play my beloved instrument. Day by day the passion of composing was growing. Music is the language of soul. Music can express thoughts better then words and that is why I became so dedicated to music. 

After four years of attending music collage and learning how to play the cello I realized that public education has too much limits. I decided to develop my skills taking individual music training. I learned a lot from Professor Christopher Galant, who was the lute player. I started to play the Viola da Gamba in Professor’s Chamber Music Ensemble and I learned the rules of harmony. Music Ensemble was performing renaissance and baroque music in stylish costumes and on instruments made by my teacher, maestro di capella. We were performing with the Ensemble for eight years in many famous venues and noble events starting from concerts in the Witkacy’s Theatre in Zakopane, the Museum of Interior Courts in Ożarów to international business meetings and festivals.  I was making quick progress in technique of playing the Viola and so far I am one of the few people, who are still able to play such unique instrument in Europe. 

I have also experience in playing the guitar, performing own folk compositions on different festivals in Poland. The interests in performing folk songs lead me to intensive voice training with Professor Dariusz Grabowski  for one year and under the direction of Professor Monika Kolasa-Hladikowa for three years in Poland. I have also completed one year of vocal studies in Academia of Riga in Latvia. Since I completed all courses I got broad experience in soprano singing and I am skilled performer in vocal music. I was still interested in composing music. I moved to London and I started to study Music Composition at Thames Valley University. I learned how to use the latest digital technology and software. I am user of Mac computers and Logic Studio, which allows me to create soundtracks for the film and music for whole orchestra without any need to hire instruments or musicians. Apple’s software allowed me to get to know the sound of many world instruments and to experiment with them.  I am familiar with Sibelius 5, which allows me to notate my compositions. I am also interested in recording sounds and audio post production. In London College of Music I was attending the Chamber Choir conducted by Paul Ayres for two years. I also started to cooperate with choir performing Polish sacral music. Due to my in depth experience I am able to create music in different genres, styles using hundreds of different instruments from all round the world, so I am sure I am able to write music for your project, regardless if you need it for the website, feature film or radio advertisement.
