My lessons are clearly structured
Languages of instruction are: German, English, Russian, Czech and Spanish
There is a piano in the music room and I use it every lesson in order to accompany my students. The lessons can take place either in the morning or in the afternoon/evening. Lessons can be arranged at the weekend as well.

Lessons usually take place once per week
Clarinet and saxophone students are accompanied on the piano in the course of every lesson in order to practice chamber music regularly
All piano students practise scales, technical studies and pieces. Special focus is put on playing by four hands
Organizing house concerts for the family and friends of my students is an important part of my teaching activity

The main focus with beginner students lies on a correct breathing technique, position of the body, relaxed playing and tonguing. The main goal is that students have a solid basis in mastering the technical part of the instrument so that they are able to develop their musicality.

Advanced students come with different expectations. Some of them want to restart playing after a long break. Others want to prepare for their admission test at the University. All lessos are tailor-made to the needs of every student. It is important to me that my students reach a superior level as regards their technique and their musicality.
