VIOLA CLASS for beginners and professionals - VIOLIN CLASS for beginners and intermediate - in Zurich or in Toggenburg

All my life I‘ve dedicated to playing and teaching the viola and it‘s unique sound. As professor of viola at the Zurich University of Arts and violin and viola teacher at the college Hohe Promenade Zurich, I‘ve collected experience at all age groups. I teach beginners as well as professionals, violinists I accompany up to an intermediate level.

CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSES

Playing viola in Amati Quartett, Trio Musaique and many other ensembles up to the size of an octet throughout all my life, I‘ve gathered precious experience. This knowledge I would love to share with you and your ensemble.

WHERE?

I teach in my music studio in the heart of Zurichs old town or in Toggenburg, Libingen.

I am looking forward to meeting you, a young or old, interested beginner or professional musician, in a lively and profound violin, viola or chambermusic class!

Please contact me for further questions or a first free lesson!
