Musik und Theater sind meine Leidenschaft. An der Ruhr Universität Bochum habe ich Pädagogik, Musik- und Theaterwissenschaften studiert und mit dem Magister Artium abgeschlossen Anschließend habe ich das Lehrerseminar für Musik in Essen für die Sekundarstufe 1 besucht. Viele Jahre habe ich in Duisburg und Düsseldorf an weiterführenden Schulen Musik unterrichtet. Aufgrund meines großen Interesse für Tiefenpsychologie und seelische Prozesse beim Musizieren habe ich zusätzlich Klinische Musiktherapie an der Universität Münster mit dem Master vollendet und schließe gerade das Disputationsprojekt "Im Zauberwald des Spiels" ab (https://www.uni- muenster.de/Musiktherapie/Forschung/musiktheraphie-schule.html).
