teachers
At Codarts students meet strongly motivated and dedicated teachers who enjoy name and fame in their profession. All of them are teachers who have won their spurs through the professional field.
Most of the teachers are currently active in the profession in addition to working as a teacher. This means that you are taught by teachers who know professional practice through and through. The masters are: Gordan Nikolić (violin), Roberta Alexander (voice), Duncan McTier (double bass), Igor Gruppman (violin) and Jean-Bernard Pommier (piano).
In addition to regular lessons, masterclasses take place which are given by famous musicians from home and abroad. The masterclasses give you the possibility to broaden your knowledge and skills further. Among others, Codarts has received the following masters: Hans Peter Blochwitz (voice), Michel Becquet (trombone), Rivka Golani (viola), Germaine Lorenzini (harp), Pavel Vernikov (violin), David Geringas (cello) and the Brodsky quartet, Alfredo Bernardini (oboe), Alexei Ogrintchouk (oboe) and José-Luis Estellés (clarinet).
