The spiritual text of a Beethoven inspires me. The romantic urging of a Chopin is changed into emphasis and the humour of a Haydn exhilarates me. Contemporary compositions arouse diverse methods of approach in me. My most essential experience dealing with music is the extraction of energy from playing. \nI have always felt the urge to pass my experiences on to students. Thereby\, a fertile collaboration can only take place when a relationship of trust is established between teacher and student. Thus\, space can be created for the pursuit of something new and for the imprint of one’s own imagination. Thereby\, it is necessary to open oneself to a new language without denying cultural roots\, as well as\, to welcome challenges and stimulations. The musician should be aware of the responsibility towards the composition and should embrace the composer selflessly to give an authentic performance. Patience should be combined with reflection\, musical intelligence\, and practical organisation\, in order to find a place within today’s music scene.“ \n\n\nAccommodation: \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.
