After finishing an apprenticeship in carpentry and becoming a certified carpentry journeyman, I worked as a trade showroom carpenter in Berlin and Vienna. For my mandatory conscription in Austria, I served as an ambulance paramedic. I obtained a bachelor's and a master's in music and dance performance and education at leading universities in Salzburg and Barcelona. From 2008 to 2011, I worked for the University Mozarteum Salzburg, producing, light-engineering, shooting and editing final performances of graduating students using professional studio camera equipment and software.

I'm a caring and compassionate teacher that tailors my lessons to accommodate each student's level of interest and ability. I set realistic goals for my students so they may achieve regular success in their studies. Learning to play a musical instrument is hard work and yet, it should also be fun. Finding the perfect balance between the two seeming opposites is how I keep my students motivated and working towards getting better. Read More

About 10 years ago I took a brief break from touring and, at a friends insistence, took on a few students. The excitement I would feel as I watched them go from absolute beginners to being proficient and, in some cases, performers themselves is indescribable. I have taught all ages from 6 to giving pro players a few tips and helping them brush up on their techniques. Any opppurtunity to share my knowledge with someone else is always relished. Read More

Every student responds differently to a method of teaching. Some react better to being challenged while others respond better to encouragement and positive reinforcement. It is my responsibility to find the method for each student and adapt accordingly. Another factor that is not constant among all students is their pace. I make sure that each student has goals that they can achieve at their current level, to avoid extreme frustration and to always keep them moving forward. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Develop a routine for yourself, stick to it in its most essential form, and consistently add new things to your practice noodling! The new things keep it fresh and interesting, and the bare necessities make sure that your fingers are warmed up and ready to shred. Give yourself a new challenge every time you practice! My fingers turn to butter if I don't go through the ropes I've developed for myself every day, which involves playing a set of jazz heads, scales, and arpeggios at gradually faster tempos. Getting into a consistent routine is the most important step that you can take towards becoming a technically proficient musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am incredibly lucky in that I was taught by a number of incredible musicians (and people!) who collectively made me want to go into music. In high school, I was taught by Sara Landeau (who slowly but surely convinced me that sightreading was a necessary hurdle to jump, and also that women can shred), Mary Halvorson (who taught me that: 1) really good musicians consistently work really hard towards the mastery that they have, 2) to love and deeply appreciate crazy modern/avant garde jazz and improvised music, and 3) that developing a voice, or individuality in the way that you play and compose is even more critical than becoming technically brilliant), and Roy Nathanson (who taught me the joy, beauty, and euphoria that is music, and who taught me that the life of a musician is difficult, but that every second is worth it for the sake of that joy).
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in composition because of my teachers who were composer-performers, and because as much as I loved to play music that I loved listening to, there was an equal desire in me to make my own music. I started off as a singer-songwriter and developed into a composer. This is not to imply that one is lesser than the other! That happened to be my trajectory. I am also a firm believer in the composer-performer's role in the development of new music. The composer-performer is the way of the future!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would build stringed instruments! I think that there are many, many roles that can be assumed within the bracket/umbrella of the 'music industry' (a term that I am not fond of, but that's besides the point!). Many of those roles are undervalued and underserved. Should a musician be valued more than a music teacher, or a sound engineer, guitar tech, booking agent, venue owner, manager, or publicist? My answer is: NO! All of these roles are hugely important, and without them, musicians would have to do so, so much more work, and would get to play less, and the world would start to tilt off-balance. We (hopefully) inhabit a music community, which should not be hierarchical, and which should help everybody serve everybody else in the name of the art form that is music.
