Weather lunar = inhale type or solar = exhale type of breathing, referring to the Principles of Terlusollogy of Christian Hagena. Thereout is the individual assistance to an ideal breathing technique coming. conscious dealing with body and voice supported breathing By conscious dealing with the body finds the singer its way into the supported breathing.

Biography Grown up in a very musical parents house (both parents have been professional opera singers) in Germany, I succeeded in the higher education entrance qualification, after having passed a business management training, to finish the studies as a graduate academic business economist. As a products manager I was active a couple of years for the company Eduscho in Bremen. My burning love to the music, particularly to the lead vocals, Ied myself to the study of lead vocals which I passed at the University of Zurich and Lucerne as a side job between 1990 and 1997. From 1994 to 1995 I also chorused in the professional choir of the Opera House Zurich. This was a magnificent time with great experiences on this world- renowned stage. Als Zugügerin? Wichtig? A two- year practice- oriented opera study at the New Opera School Zurich determined successfully my vocal qualification. Many engagements on different opera, operetta and oratorios at home and abroad followed the vocal studies to these days. From 2001 to 2003 I completed successfully as a choirmaster at the music college Lucerne which included also the experts training in choir competition. From 2001 to 2009 I taught part time as a music teacher at different schools, which included not only vocal teaching but also music history and music theory. Since 2001 I administer my own studio for lead vocals vocal- life in the Engadin and since 2003 I am the conductor of 3 different choirs all over Switzerland. 2007 I completed my music kinesiology training in Bern as a Music Kinesiology Practitioner which led me to my own consulting office Life. As a mezzo- soprano I am looking forward to impart my experiences at the from September 2009 newly opened vocal school Berne vocal- life and at the consulting office Life at the Thunstrasse 9 in Bern. Thank you for your interest and I hope to welcome you soon.
