"Music is learned through music." (Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy) Highly qualified violin (optionally viola) lessons. Well-founded technical structure based on natural motion sequences. Pieces of music of all styles. Music theory and sheet music learning with ease. Playful lessons for children with colors, pictures and child-friendly methodology that is fun. Differentiated musical design and technical refinement for adults. I started teaching my first violin student when I was 16 years old. After graduating from high school, parallel to my music studies at the time, I began to teach violin at a youth music school in the Rhineland. After completing my studies, I also taught at the youth music school in Aachen in addition to my private students. Since 2008 I have taught violin, viola, orchestral conducting and chamber music at the State Youth Music School in Hamburg and at the State Conservatory in Schwerin for many years. A large and loyal swarm of private students accompanied me for over 30 years. Taking care of this with hand and heart was and is a great pleasure for me.
