I had my education for guitar pedagogue at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, where I graduated in 1979. It was a comprehensive education of 4 years both as an instrumentalist and teacher. Also music theory and ensemble was a part of the education as well as playing by ear. I think that music is an art of theearand consequently to be learning music as well as playing technique has to take its starting point at the hearing.
Later I completed my skills with training in Hypnosis and Yoga. In the latter topic, I was a graduate yoga teacher at the Satyananda Yoga School in 1994.
Art practice is a refinement of the mind, which is why Yoga is such a great tool to constantly develop as a musician. To convey the art of music to my students I do my own material in the form of etudes, arrangements etc.
