Personal focus and teaching goals

The aim of my lessons is to make music on stage without fear, but with a lot of joy. In my lessons, I support the students in their search for the best possible state of relaxation, from which freer music-making can develop. In addition to mindfulness and movement exercises, mental work and yoga, my work also incorporates my experience in Tuina massage (traditional Chinese medicine massage), craniosacral biodynamics, Qi Gong exercises and exercises from other breathing and bodywork methods such as Milton Trager and Middendorf.

As a singer on stage myself, I know how important it is not to get stuck in the practice situation and, if necessary, I focus on this.
