Educational Materials
for adult music learners
My name is Silke, and I create educational materials.
I am a trained IT specialist with a master’s degree in Education and Psychology, and I have 40 years of teaching experience both online and offline.
During the pandemic, I started early retirement and began producing the musical learning materials that I personally felt were lacking.
