About me
Since my childhood I have been involved in piano playing and improvisation. During my piano studies and numerous training courses, I got to know various methods in order to improve my technique. I was also able to refine the versatile art of interpretation.
During musicological studies at the University of Basel, I acquired the historical background of different musical epochs.
As a result, I have specialized in "lecture concerts" and regularly give courses at the Volkshochschule Basel.
