About me as a teacher:
- I'm one of the few musicians and very few cello players who are educated in classical music as well as in teaching jazz & pop music. This can be beneficial for beginners who aren't very familiar with classical music or for advanced cello players who want to try something different.
- I'm very experienced and educated in musical improvisation and like to incorporate this into my lessons. Improvising can support the musical development of a student and can be learned and applied on every playing level and in every musical genre.
- In my lessons, I'm not only focussing on the technics and the physical part of learning an instrument, but always trying to teach within a musical context. So reading sheet music, listening to music, arranging or composing, music theory, music history and aural training can also be part of my instrumental lessons.
- I'm very flexible regarding structure and content of my lessons and try to meet the personal needs of every one of my students. If for example a student wants to learn a specific song or playing technique, improve his participation in a band, ensemble or orchestra or work on his own compositions I will always implement this into my lessons.
- I will teach everybody, regardless of age. I'm also specifically experienced in working with adults (beginning or advanced). Adults are able to learn a new instrument, too!
- Motivation and fun are always the highest goals of my lessons, before everything else I strive to achieve. Music should be pleasuring after all!

By the way: Due to Corona, I am following a proper hygiene protocol. This includes consequently keeping a minimum distance of 1,5m, starting every lesson with
washing your hands and regularly disinfecting everything in my teaching room. If wanted, I will also wear a mask during lessons.
And should there be a new lockdown protocol, I can also keep on teaching online.
If you are interested in taking lessons, want to learn more about it or arrange a trial lesson, send me message.
