With a completed Bachelor's degree in Performance and Instrumental Vocal Pedagogy from the Music and Arts Private University and the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and currently pursuing a Master's degree in these subjects, I bring a solid foundation of musical expertise. I am a multiple prize winner at international and national competitions in Asia and Europe, and I regularly perform solo and chamber music ensemble concerts throughout Europe. I have 10 years of teaching experience and work at a private music school. I teach guitar in the classical, pop and fingerstyle genres! With me you will not only learn to play the instrument, but also music theory, chord progression and arrangement during the lessons. I always create individual lesson plans for each person. All ages welcome!

My guitar lessons are adapted to each student's level, musical interests, and personal goals. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to advanced players. Depending on what you are interested in, we can work on classical guitar, rock and popular music, technique, chords, reading music, rhythm, improvisation, interpretation, or simply learning to play the music you love. For beginners, I focus on building a comfortable and solid technical foundation while making music from the very first lessons. For more experienced players, we can work in greater depth on sound, technique, musical expression, interpretation, and developing an individual approach to the instrument. I also have a background in composition and electronic music, so lessons can include songwriting, composition, improvisation, recording, or working with music technology for students who are interested in exploring beyond traditional guitar lessons. The lessons are shaped around you – whether you want to learn guitar from scratch, return to the instrument after a break, prepare for a performance, or develop your playing further. Lessons are available in English, German, and Hebrew.

In September 2026, I am offering a private German intensive in Vienna or online, designed for international professionals who want to make substantial progress within a focused period. The preferred format is for two participants who already know each other well, such as partners, colleagues or close associates, and who share a similar level, learning pace and availability. The expected scope is 20 to 30 hours per week. A carefully selected coursebook provides the structure, while the programme is tailored to your professional background, personal interests and everyday life in Austria. Depending on your goals, the course may incorporate professional communication, presentations, emails, Austrian literature, history, political culture, current affairs and authentic texts from your own field. These materials are used to develop precise vocabulary, strengthen grammar and pronunciation, and build confidence in speaking, reading and writing.

The content is then adapted continuously as you progress. A private one-to-one intensive may also be available by agreement. Further information is available on request.

Class Description I offer a unique approach to English for children based on language, imagination and emotional connection. Having lived and studied in Australia, and with a strong background in family and child psychology, I do not teach English as a traditional lesson. I create an experience in which children learn naturally through movement, stories, music, conversation and creative activities. My classes are especially suitable for children who need more than a standard teacher – children who learn through atmosphere, attention and encouragement. I work individually and adapt each class to the child's personality, interests and level. The goal is not only to improve English, but to help the child feel confident, expressive and curious.
