Karolina has been playing the violin since the age of five and began her studies with Sue Lynn and Margaret Norris (Yehudi Menuhin School). As well as later receiving a competitive Music scholarship from Reigate Grammar School, her violin tuition was generously supported by Young Sounds, formerly known as Awards for Young Musicians. This enabled her to continue her violin studies with Berent Korfker, a protégé of Zakhar Bron.

Karolina is a proud alumna of Trinity College, Cambridge where she read Music, electing solo violin performance for her final year of studies. During this time, her violin lessons were supported by the Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust. As part of the vibrant extracurricular music scene, she regularly appeared as a soloist and a leader. Highlights include Stravinsky The Soldier’s Tale, J.S Bach, C Major Sonata on baroque instrument and his Double Violin Concerto in D minor in Trinity College Chapel.

Since 2022, Karolina has been studying with Lutsia Ibragimova (Royal College of Music). She has participated in masterclasses with Berent Korfker, Maxim Vengerov and Elizabeth Wallfisch.
