Welcome to EWM INSIGHTS where we celebrate on HUMAN CAPITAL!
In this edition of the podcast we sit down with the incredibly talented pianist, Karolina Tomaszewska.
Born in Poland and currently studying in Paris, Karolina has won numerous international piano competitions and has performed at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall.
Karolina recalls being captivated by a Chopin concert at the age of eight, a moment that sparked her desire to create "miracles" through music.
We discuss her journey into music, the influences that shaped her career, and her new innovative app, Focus On, designed to help musicians practice more efficiently using neuroscientific research to enhance learning and retention. Features like muscle memory training and interleaved practice aim to make practice sessions more effective and enjoyable.
The Focus On app has already shown promising results, with testers reporting significant improvements in their practice habits and performance of aspiring musicians.
Listen as she shares her inspirations, the challenges she faced, and her desire to help young people achieve miracles - and her vision for the future of classical music!
This episode of Insights is a must-listen for anyone passionate about music and personal growth.
Karolina Tomaszewska's success spans across Europe and reaches to the United States of America.
Her journey continues to be a testament to the power of dedication, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence!
