It was rather by chance that my parents became aware of their daughter's musical enthusiasm. At the age of nine, I was allowed to choose the clarinet as my instrument. Three years later, already at the conservatory, the passion sparked in other areas as well: piano, singing, conducting, to name but a few!
​
My choice of studies was initially in favour of the clarinet, I absolutely wanted to become an orchestral musician. Unfortunately, during my training, I also got to know the other side of the coin: shoulder pain, embouchure failure and stage fright as a result. This however allowed me to early on intensively study the relationship between body and instrument, optimize practice habits and study the human psyche — gradually, my former weaknesses transformed into my new strengths!
​
This far into my life's journey, I have been allowed to get to know all the colourful aspects of being an orchestral player, I got to produce myself artistically with my diverse interests (classical music, klezmer, tango,...) and had numerous enriching encounters and experiences.
After Düsseldorf, the USA, Freiburg and Munich, my path led me back to Luxembourg in 2014. Thanks to a teaching position at the music conservatory, I am able to fulfill my heart's desire: fostering the love for music in people and accompanying them on their personal path of development. I recently started offering Disposkinesis lessons for musicians, as well as performance training, hypnosis to enhance learning and overcome stage fright as well as psychological counseling in Luxemburg, but also online.
