Recently, I gained expertise in the following topics on contemporary percussion which I am passionate about. I am keen on presenting and teaching those topics in a masterclass:
- Setup building (workshop for percussionists)
- Micro Compositions (workshop for composers)
- Alternative techniques of percussion playing and Soundpainting
These Workshops have been presented at:

Private – weekly Teaching:
In my percussion studio, I teach private lessons where I help my students to achieve their musical goals on all kinds of percussion instruments such as the drum-set, marimba, vibraphone, etc. As a New Music specialist, I currently work with my students on Contemporary Music repertoire, setup mounting, as well as on repertoire coaching.

Workshops with the Ensemble Schallfeld:
The ensemble Schallfeld regularly offers workshops for music students in Austrian Music Schools and Universities. In those workshops, the students have the opportunity to learn new techniques on the instruments and expand their musical skills. Moreover, the workshops enable them to get familiar with contemporary music with the help of professionally trained teachers.
