My Offer
Listen to me! – Listen to you by what right? (– My divine right if you must, I am your king! – No, you’re not. You told me so yourself, you said you didn’t want it.) Why should I waste my time listening to –Because I have a voice!
– from the film: The King’s Speech
Your voice belongs to you!

About me
My own relationship with my voice has not grown in a straight line, but through detours, doubts and decisions that only revealed themselves as a path in hindsight.
I spent many years at various music universities and afterwards worked in professional musical contexts.
During that time I learned not only how to talk about the voice – but also how easily one’s own access to the voice can be lost. For many years I had a difficult relationship with my voice. I experienced how confusing and frustrating it can be to work with ideas and images that stay abstract and cannot be grasped – and how quickly tension, insecurity and a loss of trust in one’s own voice follow. I know vocal problems, pain after rehearsals, and the feeling of not understanding whether and how anything can change at all.
Only after my studies did I begin to find ways that actually worked for me. Meeting people who think the voice consistently from the body fundamentally changed my understanding. Step by step I worked my way back to an access that is sustainable today – and that is guided not by external expectations, but by concrete experience.
This development shapes my work to this day.
I work with people who want to take possession of their voice (again) – as well as with singers looking for more differentiation, freedom and presence. It matters to me not only to say how something should sound, but to show ways that are comprehensible and can be experienced in your own body.
At the same time I am driven by the wish to truly understand the voice. That is why I keep training and keep re-examining my own work.
My love and devotion to music has never broken off, despite all the detours. To this day it is the place I keep returning to.

FAQ
Who is this work for?
This work is for everyone who is looking for encounter: with themselves and with others, with the body and with the outside world. It is for anyone who wants to bring somatic approaches into their work beyond traditional singing lessons and who longs for an authentic vocal expression. It is for amateurs and professionals, for stage people as well as people in therapeutic professions, and for everyone who uses their voice for singing or speaking.
Where do the lessons take place?
Lessons take place in the centre of Jena or online.
What do I need to bring?
No prior experience is needed. All you need is curiosity and the courage to meet yourself.
Is there a particular genre that is covered?
No. You sing what you want to sing. You tell, share and shape what inspires you.
Is this more therapy or lessons?
Working with your own body and voice can be very healing. Even so, my lessons do not replace therapy.
Do I have to move a lot?
Moving and feeling your own body is essential to our work. It is not about athletic activity, though, but about perception, which can be refined ever more deeply. If you feel unsure about it, that is not a problem – you just need to be open to it.
Can I also do just body work without singing?
Yes, that is possible too.
What does functional voice pedagogy mean?
Functional voice pedagogy understands singing as a physiological process, guided by the idea that bodily processes are fundamentally organised in a meaningful way. Your own body is the measure my teaching is aligned with. My language is clear and immediately understandable. For me it is not about making a sound, but about finding the sound that wants to arise from within you.
What is Body-Mind-Centering?
Body-Mind-Centering® is a somatic practice in which the anatomy of the body is made tangible through your own perception. The structures and connections of all body systems, from the skeleton to fascia, nerves, organs and more, become experienceable in depth. Body-Mind-Centering® keeps placing the body in the context of embryonic development (ontogenesis) and of the evolutionary history of all living beings (phylogenesis). This practice allows a body awareness to develop that is more than instructions for correct posture or the like: it is the connection to your own physicality, full stop.
