After 30 years of actively engaging in concert performances, if not exclusively but very much, as a member of the Klangforum Wien, I see the main focus of my work today in teaching and coaching musicians.
My experience as a yoga teacher and yoga instructor, as well as my training background in Buddhist psychology and traditional Tibetan mindfulness meditation significantly inform my teaching activities. As do the courses and workshops I have held over the years in collaboration with composers such as Dieter Amann, Georges Aperghis, Beat Furrer, Rebecca Saunders and Vladimir Tarnopolsky (e.g. at the impuls academy, or at the IMD/International Summer Courses in Darmstadt).
Since 2009 I have been holding a teaching tenure for the Klangforum Wien in the context of 'Performance Practice in Contemporary Music' (PPCM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz.
In addition, I have been teaching classes on the elective subject 'Instrumental Practice in Extended Techniques/Flute' at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna from 2011 till 2023.
Since 2020, I have slowly stopped actively playing the flute. The decision was made the moment I realised that I had 'said it all' on stage. I was looking for new tasks and challenges. Nevertheless, I feel deeply rooted in contemporary music and am happy to share my experience and knowledge with interested musicians.
