Where I Teach:

Music Schule, Bonn-Beuel/Germany; -Flute Performance, composition and piano as a second instrument.
5 time Jugend Musiziert 1st place winner; 4 times as a soloist, once as a flute duet.
With over thirty years of musical experience, this third generation composer has worked as a musician, producer, songwriter and sound engineer with many of the greats in the music industry. Starting out at the age of five I learned the piano, following with the flute, saxophone, guitar and bass, winning the classical German "Jugend Musiziert" competition five times as an instrumentalist. Since the age of fifteen I have been executing professional work as a studio musician, orchestra flautist and soloist. At the age of nineteen I was composing music for commercials for clients like Levi’s, McDonalds and Century 21. My music has been featured in “Mercury” award winning commercials, in TV shows like Californication, Making the Band, Bad Girls Club, Basketball Wives and many more. With over 20 years in the industry, I have achieved the respect and recognition from my peers with his talent and professional approach to music. Some of my collaborations include work with Marc Anthony, Method Man, K7, TKA, George Lamond, etc.. My musical understanding and experience has helped musicians ranging from the beginning student, to the elite of the industry.
I first started giving classes in Germany at the age of 19 to beginning students. I've continued to teach privately and in some schools. I make sure the right habits are practiced from the very beginning; warming up, sound exercises, technical exercises and the musical piece we're working on at the time. Metronome use is a must, specially starting out. I make sure the student gets excellent results in the shortest time possible, keeping the encouragement going by the student getting real results and advancement.
As explained in my teaching style, every student is different and thus I adapt my approach depending on that. This being said, some of the books I use depending on level for flute students; for the beginning students "Trevor Wye - Beginner's Book for the Flute" for advanced to very advanced students the "Etudes Et Exercices Techniques pour la flute" By Marcel Moyse. All while going through a variety of flute repertoire that keeps the student inpired. For guitar students I use "Teach Yourself to Play Guitar by David Brewster" and for songs Justin Sandercoe's "JustinGuitar Beginner's Songbook" I've also combined different books depending on what I see needs more emphasis, working on the same issue from different approaches.
I adapt my teaching style depending on the student. I'm a firm believer one can't just follow the same recipe with every student. Every person is different. My main focus with beginning students is maintaining the fun about learning as to maintain their passion for the instrument and thus really putting the effort in. At the same time I teach them music theory as well, a deeper understanding of music theory helps the instrumentalist on many levels. Every lesson includes some technical exercises and a musical piece. These will be solo pieces as well as duets, being that I can play along with the flute or the guitar. With more advanced students that already have found the love for their instrument, I focus on strengthening their weak points, be it technique, sound or interpretation. Regardless of the level, I am here to help the student be able to express themselves through music.
