My career as a bassist

I started playing bass at the age of 13, when I was captivated by bassists like Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Timmy C from Rage Against the Machine with their funk-rock basslines. Later, I also became interested in other genres of music, especially jazz and funk with their vibrant and improvised bass lines, which further fueled my passion for playing the bass.

My studies and pedagogical experience

After graduating from BORG Wr.Neustadt I continued my musical education at the Joseph Haydn University of Music, where I studied electric bass as my main subject and classical double bass as side subject. In addition to completing my Bachelor's degree in Performance with distinction, I also passed the teaching qualification exam for instrumental/vocal pedagogy (IGP).

I already began teaching during High School, when younger bass players asked me for help, tips, and tricks. Even then, I greatly enjoyed sharing my knowledge, and over time, teaching gradually developed into a passion and eventually into a profession. Through continuous engagement with different teaching methods, individual learning paths, and the needs of my students, I have been able to constantly expand my pedagogical skills. For me teaching is not just a means of conveying musical knowledge, but also a creative and communicative activity in which I myself am constantly learning and growing.
