Violin Teacher - Highly advanced & The beginner - Encourage self-expression & curiosity

Hei sann!

I come from a beautiful fjord in Norway called Ryfylke and recently moved to Dreiländereck in Ötlingen, a village overlooking the vineyards.

My teaching experience ranges from beginners to advanced. I am a dedicated, passionate teacher who loves to pass on my knowledge of music. I believe the essence of teaching is to encourage the artist within to focus on expression and experience the connection to oneself.

Music for me is all about connecting to your own feelings and inner world, and finding a way to share this with other artists and listeners. I teach violin with the help of imagination as well as great methods. I focus on the joy of discipline and focus rather then being rigid. I guide you to discover yourself, your inner voice that constitutes the artist you are.

I teach both at home, your home if convenient, or on Lessonface. I speak English, and some German, and of course Norwegian.

Classical music, as well as improvisation, folk and spiritual.

My approach is a holistic one, and it is individual how I set up a structure for the student. Every musician is unique, and it is my chance to encourage that individual shine and drive! 

I work technical too, always integrated, in an organic way, and the expression will always be there to guide. Not the other way.
