“I started playing the piano at the age of 16. My high-school music teacher discovered that I was interested in piano music. He started giving me piano lessons and after half a year I had my first performance for my school. After one year, we decided that I need more professional support. I successfully performed the entrance test at Dr.Hoch´s Conservatory in Frankfurt and visited Mrs Johannson piano class for three years. 2008 I was forced to interrupt my progress for work and study reasons and was able to resume seven years later. My study reward was my grand piano of Grotrian Steinweg. Music of J.S.Bach and L.v.Beethoven is for me biggest joy.”

Malgorzata Schlümer
A wife, a future mum, an incoming MSBA graduate, founder of Lean In @Frankfurt, Lean In Regional Leader, women`s advocate, passionate violinist, and Officer for Social Affairs at Rotaract Frankfurt International, in that order.
At age 10, after being inspired by a friend`s violin play, Malgorzata applied to Chopin´s Music School in Sochaczew, Poland – despite opposition by her parents. She passed the violin entrance exam and subsequently announced to her parents “from now on you have to support my classical music journey! Please buy me a violin.”
Malgorzata played professionally, attended numerous international music courses, and won many violin competitions until a year before her secondary school final examinations. Ultimately, she decided to change her career path to international business.

“I play the cello and piano since more than fifteen years. As everybody in my family plays an instrument, I obviously needed to do the same and joined our family orchestra. Piano and cello completed our music. I love to play music of the epoch of the romantic but managed to play all epochs. J.S.Bach, Vivaldi and Rachmaninov are my favorite composers.”
