An experienced music teacher

Heike Schäfer's pedagogical experience spans several areas: a Master's degree in Music Education from the Zurich University of the Arts, a CAS diploma in School Counseling from the Bern University of the Arts and numerous continuing education courses in Switzerland and Germany. Heike Schäfer's lessons are multifaceted and cover a broad spectrum, from classical to jazz, orchestral and chamber music playing, to creating her own arrangements. In her lessons she looks after pupils of all ages on their musical journey.
Music lessons are a lively journey, a human encounter and a daily joy.

Lessons

School

Heike Schäfer teaches at the MKZ (Musikschule Konservatorium Zürich) and the music schools in Kilchberg and Suhr.

Private lessons

Private lessons are the best way to make targeted progress - be it as an introduction to the double bass, as preparation for an orchestral project or simply to try things out.

Trial lesson

Feel free to contact me to arrange a trial lesson.

Further training & exchange

Heike Schäfer offers further-education courses for the double bass - from the introduction of the double bass as a new instrument in music schools, to its special role in classroom music-making. In addition, as a school practice consultant, she accompanies the teaching of music teachers with the aim of enabling reflection, processes and further development.
