Vocal instructor, vocalist, and flutist from Gliwice, Poland. Dominika studied choral conducting at the Academy of Music in Katowice (Master's Degree) and Sound Engineering in Krakow. She began singing in 1994 with her own smooth jazz and ballad project. From 1995, she performed in over 300 shows with the musical theater 'Teatr A' from Gliwice as a flutist, singer, choir conductor, music arranger, and sound engineer. In 2001, she founded the folk band 'SASIEDZI'. With this group, she has played over 600 concerts in France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the USA. Across all these bands, Dominika has always been responsible for vocal arrangements and voice training.
In 2020, thanks to a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, she carried out the artistic project "Folklank." (https://folklank.pl/) As part of this undertaking, she recorded selected Polish folk songs in her own arrangements. In this project, she performed as a vocalist, flautist, and guitarist.

She runs her studio SINGART (www.singart.pl), employing 6 voice teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists. She cooperates as a vocal coach with professional singers performing various styles, including pop, rock, folk, jazz, and musical theater. Dominika travels, giving lessons and vocal workshops to singers and voice teachers. She organizes large international vocal workshops for over 100 participants, mainly in Gliwice, Poland.
For the last 5 years, Dominika has been concentrating on supporting teachers to become Accredited with IVTOM, giving online and in-person lessons, leading teacher training sessions, and providing mentoring lessons (observations).
