NordenBladet – The apple of my eye, 11-year-old Estella Elisheva brings me joy every day! Today she returned home withe the title “Estonia’s best violinist” III prize – and she is just 11 years old! I am so proud! Super great thanks to Saku Music School teacher Kaari Klesment who has developed such passion for music in her! This is so cool – I am genuinely happy, grateful and proud! Such great accomplishment in her age group as well as generally in a broader perspective.
We have conversations every day with Estella Elisheva about life and future – she has a very clear idea about her life and future. We both are definitely truly glad for all these achievements, but we also know that the world is wide and broad and the fact that someone is super successful in the home country does not automatically guarantee breakthrough and success in the entire world. Yet we have eyes on the big prize – no more no less than being well known around the world, a renowned violinist. To elaborate on the previous idea – my own goal is to see my daughter become the best and best known violinist in the world and her personal goal is to become a good and talented violinist who enjoys music – we hereby represent quite different views and oftentimes we have disputes on that – we both are somewhat stubborn and try to defend our ideas, moral and beliefs. She is an artist while I am a businesswoman – however, our cooperation is going well. We both motivate each other – it is actually rather unbelievable how an 11-year-old child can motivate her 39-year-old mother and how I can inspire her to practice and also dream big. We are the dream team! I love you Estella Elisheva! You are so fine! I am so happy for another great achievement of yours!
