About
Miloš Katanić was born in 1991 in Kragujevac, Serbia, where he finished his primary, secondary and higher education. After that, he enrolled in the master’s degree program at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz, in the class of professor Alfred Melichar. Further improving his musical skills, he finished postgraduate studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, in the class of professor Janne Rättyä.
He has competed in all major accordion competitions and won many of them. Amongst his many achievements are first prizes won on “Premio internazionale della Fisarmonica di Castelfidardo” in Italy, the “Australian International Accordion Championship” and “The 33rd Harbin Summer Music Festival in China”.
He has taken part in many seminars led by major accordion artists, such as Yuri Shishkin, Matti Rantanen and Vladimir Besfalminov. He has also been a part of many projects, both solo and with other ensembles, most notable of which is the Kokoro duo. He was the recipient of the “Edith Rebhahn” scholarship for 2016 at Anton Bruckner Private University.
Close collaboration with composers in creating new pieces for accordion resulted in his debut CD called “The Breath” with pieces written exclusively for him.
During his master studies, he opted for a module dealing with pedagogy in group and individual teaching. Throughout his teaching career, he was working with students of different ages.
After teaching in a music school in Prijepolje Milos have started teaching at the music school “Dr Miloje Milojević” in Kragujevac where he is currently employed.
Throughout my teaching career, I was working with students of different ages. At the University of Linz, I chose pedagogy (as an elective module) where I had the opportunity to work with children in a group and in individual classes. I was also giving many private lessons to academy students. After teaching in a music school in Prijepolje I have started teaching at the music school “Dr Miloje Milojević” in Kragujevac, where I currently work with children aged 8 to 19.
I have a lot of patience in my classes with students and I primarily try to convey to them love for music and then everything else necessary for their progress. I am also creative in finding different solutions when it comes to solving problems. Also, knowing how much stress learning music can cause sometimes, I believe that with support and experience-based advice, I can help eliminate or reduce these problems.
During my studies, I was influenced by the German, Finnish and Russian accordion schools, and by combining these influences, I am sure that I can provide each student with the best teaching method that suits him best.
I teach both button and piano accordion.
