More About Me

I've worked with programming, web pages, technical writing, teaching, playing music and translations.

I've studied musicology at the University of Stockholm, and also taken the course "Folkmusik i Norden", about the traditional music of the Nordic countries.

In 1995 I did some research on flutes in Swedish traditional music up to the beginning of the 20th century. You can read about this here.

I speak and write Swedish fluently (of course, I was born here, and I lived most of my life here).

But I also speak and write English fluently, since I went to an international school when I was little. My father worked for SIDA, the Swedish foreign aid, so we lived in both Tanzania and Portugal.

Because of my fluent English and my knowledge of traditional music, I have done some jobs such as writing texts for a sampler of Swedish traditional music for FolkNetSweden.

I have played Irish music with several bands in Sweden.

I've taught various classes and workshops of Irish music on tin whistle, flute, singing and bodhrán, and also given some lectures on Irish music.

Over the years I've collected a vast number of tunes, since I write down the "dots" for every tune I learn. More than 3000 of these tunes are available in ABC format on the web.
