Revolutionizing Inclusive Learning and Creative Expression Through Music
szlatanova@alumni.berklee.edu
I'm Sofija, a music educator, performer, and creative based in Cambridge. Before teaching, I was a full-time violist.
After teaching, I'll redefine music education. I've been part of the music world for over two decades. I've composed, performed, published, taught, and advocated for inclusive arts education.

Humanitarian Projects
When I'm not performing or teaching, I lead creative music group classes like Mini Mozarts and offer individual lessons in my studio, inspiring learners of all ages to explore the world of music. I've published two books, one on music education and different abilities, and a youth fiction novel. I'm also practicing music therapy toward Board Certification. At just 18, I became the youngest member of the National Opera and Ballet Orchestra, where I performed for 11 years internationally. My notable performances include concerts at Carnegie Hall and collaborations with renowned orchestras. I currently teach part-time at Berklee College of Music, working with students of all abilities, blending creativity with inclusivity.
