I studied at the Musikhochschule Freiburg / Germany and hold a Diploma in teaching and performing cello (1976) and a diploma in teaching and performing Classical guitar (1978).

Teaching:

I wanted to be a cello teacher since I was 16 and have taught for more than 50 years. Publishing my CELLO METHOD was my first retirement project. I wish to make the over decades acquired specific knowledge available for future generations - analysing methods and the process of learning cello.

Performing:

I have performed more than 2000 times solo or Duo, Trio & Quartet, including more than 200 cello solo concerts over 16 years in the underground Cathedral Chamber at Jenolan Caves / Australia, the world's longest series of cello solo concerts! In 1992 I recorded the 6 Bach Cello Suites for 2 MBS FM Sydney, Britten Solo Suite No 2 plus many other programs for radio. I have recorded a LP (1983) plus 12 CD's.

My Youtube channel includes own compositions, arrangements, improvisations, the 6 Bach Solo Suites, Cello Duos and Duos for cello and guitar,

violin & guitar, viola da Gamba, cello & piano, piano Trio.
