About Birgit
I am an enthusiastic, active professional violinist myself and have been teaching for over 30 years, so I have a wealth of experience and literature. I hold three music diplomas: in instrumental pedagogy, in artistic maturity, and in chamber music. I am a member of various ensembles (classical, ambient, klezmer, and others).

I provide a very solid technical and musical foundation, which is connected to the breath. A lively sound and enjoyment of every note are important to me, regardless of level.
I offer various styles (Baroque, Classical, Pop, Klezmer, Gypsy).
I would also be happy to show you improvisation on the violin. Lessons will be in english or german.
My motto: "Music is learned through music" (Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy). Boring etudes and soulless exercises are not part of my curriculum. It is important to me to understand and play even a simple scale, for example, as soulful music.
A lesson typically consists of the following:
- Repetition of what has already been learned
- Introduction of new elements with the help of image-rich
exercises, e.g., new playing techniques, optimizing
movement sequences, rhythmic understanding, bowing
technique, layering technique, breath integration, a
feeling for holistic playing, etc.
- Collaboration, literary play, and for children: a song of
their choice at the end.
The foundation is breath-supported, holistic playing technique and musical appreciation according to Sandor Vegh.
FOR ADULTS:
Refinement of playing techniques and connection with the breath column. Musical expression. Repertoire playing. Stylistic accuracy. Musical and technical development of elements typical of the respective era/style.
FOR CHILDREN:
I enjoy teaching using the Rolland String Method, among others. Furthermore, I have a whole "toolbox" of methodology thanks to my 30 years of teaching experience, so many different methods can be used depending on the child's needs.
Beginner lessons are possible using a method I developed without sheet music, allowing the notes to be introduced gradually and playfully.
I teach in a fun, child-friendly way using colors and lots of pictures. I always cater to the needs of my students.

Birgit was a great company to make my first steps with violin. She explains well, is patient and is happy with you when you make your progress in baby steps.
I enjoy the lessons too and there is room for repetition, fun and exprerimentation.
I can highly recommend her.I met Birgit in a music festival and we jam the best violin duo impro I have ever had.
She has such a great knowledge and such a kind heart that every minute with her is so precious.
With a life of experience with the violin, exploring different styles and a lot of Improvisation skills there is hardly anything that you can not learn for her.
Enjoy the music journey together!Birgit is my best experience with violin tutors - so I can really recommend her. She has so much experience as a musician and violin teacher and for me it's always like being able to just swim along, no matter what level I'm at.
In addition to playing the violin, she has so much knowledge about improvisation and other musical styles and directions and you never have the feeling that you could ask something ‘wrong’ - absolutely recommendable.
Birgit is profesional. She is very kind with pacience and at the same time the exigence needed for haveing a really good sound... she is flexible in her ideas and modality... she is an amazing violinist flexible with the ideal of music. Communicate with music... She enjoy teaching and thats amazing! Thanks Birgit!!
