Hi you!

I'm Amalie, which is a name that comes from the old Gothic word for "hard working" - and I spend every day trying to prove that fitting.

I'm 30 years old and born in Denmark, but have spent a great deal of my life living abroad, untiringly getting to know foreign mentalities and musical approaches. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 with the Japanese Suzuki-method and am educated from The Juilliard School in New York and The University of Music in Vienna, where I now live and work as a tenured member of the principal violin group in the Vienna Radio Orchestra.

I can offer you something from both the American and the Viennese violin school, meaning both the focus of strong, healthy, and personal playing, and the attention to elegant, tasteful musical details. Furthermore, I want to pass on some of the mental training for performing that I've learned through my own experiences as both a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra musician.

Apart from playing the violin for a living, I'm the mother of (soon) two, and I like to read novels, cook, and painting with watercolor. Wanting time for all of these things, I have taught myself how to work in a focused and productive way to get the most out of my practice time. I hope I can teach you the same!

I'm looking forward to meeting you and sharing a little part of what this crazy, wonderful profession is like.

Best, Amalie
