It was during a stay at St. Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh (an institution under the patronage of Yehudi Menhuin) that Isabel Schneider decided to make the violin her profession.

She went on to complete a teaching and orchestral diploma at the Musikakademie Winterthur-Zürich (now part of Zurich University of the Arts) followed by a performance diploma at the City of Basel Music Academy.

There followed one-and-a-half years spent in Sydney, Australia, during which she played in the Sidney Symphony Orchestra and taught at Newington College.

Schneider moved to Vienna in 1995, where she initially freelanced with various ensembles such as the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Wiener Akademie, the Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra, and Klangforum Wien.

Since 1998, Isabel Schneider has taught a large violin class at the Music School of Tulln. In light of the diversity that inhabits our musical world, she strives to guide her class in a lively and nimble manner with group training and individual lessons as well as by establishing and coaching the greatest possible number of string quartets. This approach also entails looking beyond the confines of the music school, attending courses given by other musicians, and going on concert tours together with her students as well as teaching in other contexts such as the Austrian Masterclasses or the summer course for strings in Szarlota, Poland, thereby engaging in regular contact and exchange with other musicians and teaching methods.
