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.
