Barbara in a nutshell
There is no right or wrong in teaching, there's just what the student needs.
My teaching method depends on the knowledge and expectations of the students.
I certainly have my "favourite" method, but I'm always open to responding to students' specific requests.

There is no right or wrong in teaching, there's just what the student needs.
My teaching method depends on the knowledge and expectations of the students.
I certainly have my "favourite" method, but I'm always open to responding to students' specific requests.
I see any tutor/method only as a basis, to which I offer a lot of extra material and targeted support when I notice that a student is "stuck" or not really making progress.
My current focus is teenager/adult education. Many adults used the past three years to expand or refresh their knowledge online. For face to face tuition, I also accept children from about 8 years.
However, I then insist that the parents are present or at least nearby/available.
Part of the online sessions is a "follow-up email" in which I summarize the learning content, go into details and focus on specific points and, if necessary, attach extra material and/or audio clips.

I am a classically trained musician with many years of experience teaching and languages.
I studied piano, wind instruments, conducting and composition. In addition, musicology/research and management.
I am particularly interested in the of the 19th century. I collect and restore harmonies and American organs, which I also use in concerts.
In addition to my interest in "serious music", I am an active and passionate street musician,
playing Celtic on the tin whistle and ocarina, Klezmer and Yiddish songs on recorders and sopilka.
I teach all recorders, C/F and bass, 6 and 12 hole ocarinas, tin whistle, saxonett, tongue drums, all keyboard instruments, flute/Irish flute.

Barbara is an excellent music tutor who has helped me improve my skills in playing different instruments. She is patient and knowledgeable, and she always takes the time to explain things in a way that I can understand. Barbara has a great sense of humor and makes learning fun. She has also helped me develop my own style of playing, which has been a great confidence booster. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for an excellent music tutor.
