W O R K S H O P S

building simple, funny electronic mashines and creating my own syntheziser instruments has become one of my favourite things to spent time with.

building little noise boxes together and teaching basic electronics to young troublemakers is another facet of my pedagogic activities.

get in touch if you would like a workshop for your school / institution / summer camp....

I am teaching saxophone in lörrach, basel, barcelona and online. I like this job a lot, as teaching and working with inspired beings of any age for me is an intense, funny and rewarding journey.

feeling trusted is a very special honour and I love sharing music and all sorts of tricks concerning the saxophone with my students. feel free to get in touch!

having spent the past 15 years teaching different sorts of music lessons has helped me understand how to pass down knowledge respecting every student's different needs, challenges and specialties is one of my favourite activities.

book a lesson and let's have a try!
