In German we have an expression:

“The sound makes the music.”   Not only is what you say is important, but also how you say it.

​

Nowhere is this truer than in music.  Making music demands more than just technical ability – you must also be an engaging communicator, a compelling storyteller, and have a deep sense of human understanding.  Helping others develop their skills and grow as musicians is something I am passionate about, whether as a conductor, teacher or coach.  My own career journey began as a répétiteur, and led to conducting in opera houses all over Germany, and to teaching – currently at the Zurich University of the Arts as well as Lyric Opera Studio Weimar.

​

I am pleased to offer both in-person and online training in the following areas:

​

• Role preparation / study

• Conducting lessons for beginners and advanced students

• Audition and exam preparation

• German language and diction coaching
