Sounds and instruments that you learn from rather than learn them… 

After a fulfilling journey of over 16 years, primarily shaped by my studies in singing and Rudra Veena in (North) India, I am now eager to open my treasure chest. Alongside my work as a nurse, it is a heartfelt priority and my wish to share my long-standing microtonal sound experiences, my well-founded knowledge, and my abilities with people of all ages – a task I carry out with great joy and mindful responsibility (see also Sound Journey for `Adults, Children, and the Unborn´).

Musical newcomers are also very welcome; NO previous musical knowledge is required.

The accompaniment of the Tanpura gives my offerings a unique and distinctive character. Its enchanting vibrations are both my musical guide and the core sonic foundation woven into each of my offers. The natural harmonic series (pure intervals) unfolds from its mysterious ocean of overtone-rich vibrations – a silent awakening from the depths of sound. Through regular meditative merging with its multidimensional sound spectrum, the `inner ear´ can open up to the perception of the omnipresent sound of anahat Nāda.

Inspired by the creative improvisational mastery of my Gurus, I draw from the rich spectrum of improvisational techniques from Indian Raag Music to create individual designs for syllable singing. Each musical presentation unfolds melodically and intuitively, tailored to the participants, the hour, and the spirit of the moment.
