What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and professional growth in music education.

As a passionate music educator, I have dedicated my career to inspiring students through music. With a Master's in Musicology from RMA Utrecht University and extensive teaching experience, I have developed a curriculum that meets the diverse needs of my students while adhering to the International Baccalaureate guidelines.

My teaching journey has taken me from private lessons in the USA to music therapy for children with developmental disabilities. I have successfully led workshops, prepared students for recitals, and created engaging learning environments that foster creativity and growth. My commitment to music education is matched by my experience in audio engineering and performance, allowing me to provide a well-rounded approach to teaching.
