Teaching Methods
I give lessons for saxophone, clarinet and piano.
It is important to me to respond individually to each student. Every person learns differently, depending on previous experience, musical preferences, learning type, age, etc., so that different teaching methods can give me as a teacher valuable suggestions for the transfer of knowledge and skills, but individually related to each learner, and modified if necessary.
The most important thing for me is always to convey the joy and fun of making music to the learner, no matter whether he is a total beginner, or already preparing for the entrance exams at the conservatory. Pure hobby musicians are welcome as well as ambitious musicians, younger as well as more mature students.
The approach to music styles is open, depending on the wishes and needs of the actual student. It is of course also possible to focus on a particular style of music such as jazz, classical or popular music. I use modern teaching methods (e.g. the methodology of the Academy of Networked Thinking in Music, which is closely oriented to brain research and was recently presented on Swiss television: Youtube - Einstein learns piano), as well as traditional methods (e.g. the musical priority concept).

Essential components of the lessons are rhythm and tone formation, as well as learning to understand musical relationships. This includes melody formation, phrasing, articulation, harmony and form theory, finger technique, improvisation, interpretive approaches, and more.
In addition to many years of teaching experience, I also have a wide range of experience as an active musician in various formations, which ensures practice-oriented teaching.
