About Me

I am a musician by nature, have lived and worked on / off in the UK for 45 years and have over 35 years of experience teaching music, languages and naturopathy. I studied piano and conducting, as a minor subject, recorder and other keyboard instruments, as well as musicology.
My special interest (my specialty) is the harmonium and the American Pump Organ. I also restore these instruments and use them to perform regularly here in Wales.
a teaching method depends on the level of knowledge and expectations of my pupils and students.
At the moment my focus is on adults who want to use the current situation to improve their knowledge online. I am also happy to take older children and young people from about 12 years.

Education

Abitur 1983, 1985-1990 HfM Detmold, 1991 founding of our own publishing house, afterwards further education in naturopathy in Switzerland. Regular concert appearances since the late 1970s, as a soloist or as an accompanist.

Experience / Qualifications

I passed my O-Levels in London in 1979, then graduated from high school in 1983 with advanced courses in German and English, then studied music at the HfM Detmold. Since my school days I have performed regularly, been successful in competitions and have taught. I also sent my own students to competitions and prepared many of them for the entrance exams to various universities. I am married to a British musician (French horn, ocarina, flute, all flutes and composition). After living in London in the 1990s, we moved to Wales in 2008. We live with our two children in one of the most beautiful parts of Wales, the "Valleys". Here we work out our own concert programs, research and publish our own grades and teach. My "hobby" is Irish and Celtic music, with which I also make buske = street music. We are happy about contacts to Germany and think that online teaching has a great future.

ON-LINE! Tin Whistle (Penny Whistle, Irish Whistle) lessons

48 € /h

Tin Whistle .... the Irish / Celtic instrument par excellence. The instrument with the special tone.
I offer a solid introduction for beginners, reveal "tricks of the trade", and explain the fundamental differences to how to play the flute.
The Irish whistle is certainly not the cheap "fun instrument" that it is often viewed as. Inexpensive yes, but by no means cheap.

ON-LINE! Block flutes in C & F, soprano, alto, tenor and bass in the bass clef,

48 € /h

We offer block flute lessons for adults and children.
The block flute is not only the traditional entry-level instrument, but a full member of the woodwind instrument family. Composers of the 16th and 17th centuries have written well-known works for the soprano flute. In the late 17th and 18th century. the alto flute was "the" instrument for composers like Bach, Haendel, Vivaldi and many more.
For the "easy" entry into the world of music with little fingers, the soprano flute is ideal, adults can start immediately with the larger alto flute (in F, but don't panic, that's "normal").
For adults who would like to stick to the C-flute, but find the soprano "too small", the tenor offers a wonderful deep and warm tone.
Many alto flute players will sooner or later develop an interest in the bass flute. It has a deep, mysterious, deep sound. Unfortunately, many players then rely on the fact that the bass part is / will be transferred into the treble clef, as they cannot read the bass clef. For these players we offer bass clef reading as a workshop.
We offer another workshop "Celtic playing on the block flute", in which we show, explain and work out the differences between traditional and Celtic playing styles with the student / participant.
