About
Hi violinists!
I am excited to starting or continuing your musical journey with you.
As a classical and experimental violinist, I look back at many years of teaching and playing music with all kinds of musicians all over the globe. I worked with the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, Bruckner Orchester Linz, Philharmonices Mundi, Johann Strauss Ensemble, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Cairo Classical Ensemble, Ensemble Linz, etc.
My own education started in Austria, where I studied violin pedagogy. I also studied in Switzerland, Spain and Ireland, where I am currently undertaking an Arts Practice Research PhD.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Teaching Style
As a violin teacher, I focus on building a strong technical foundation while always keeping the joy of music-making at the center of each lesson. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced player, I tailor my approach to your individual goals, pace, and musical interests.
I work with both children and adults, and I welcome students of all levels and backgrounds. My teaching covers a wide range of styles — from classical and folk to more contemporary genres — always with an open, creative, and flexible mindset.
I specialize in musicians' health and posture, helping you develop a sustainable, body-aware playing technique. At the same time, I support you in unfolding your own musical identity — because for me, teaching is not just about playing the right notes, but about discovering your authentic musical voice.
My teaching style is open, supportive, and encouraging. I create a space where curiosity, expression, and progress can grow naturally — with structure, but never pressure.
