I am lucky to travel all over the world to perform and teach the wonderful chamber and solo literature for clarinet.
I look forward to share my love of music with you, to transmit all that I have discovered through my experience on the stage and through my studies with eye-opening teachers such as Martin Frost, Francois Benda, Michel Arrignon, Charles Neidich, Ferenc Rados, Sergio Azzolini and many others...
With over ten years of teaching experience, I tailor my style to each individual student: together we will explore and develop the impressive range of expression which the clarinet allows. I will help you to develop a solid yet flexible technique so that you can feel absolutely free to express what you love in music. We will focus especially on how to interpret the various layers of beauty and meaning in each piece.
If you are working towards an audition, an examination or a concert, I will prepare you thoroughly for it.

Along with clarinetists, I also welcome chamber music groups of all kinds, looking to perfect their ensemble playing and musical ingenuity. As an artistic director, art administrator and co-founder of multiple institutions and businesses, I can also competently advise on career development.

Besides my artistic career, I'm a psychotherapist licensed by the Danish Society of Psychotherapists. For matters more closely related with stage freight, performance anxiety, motivation and psychology of artistic performance, please refer to my psychoanalysis and psychotherapy practice, at www.iclp.si
