Generation change at Musikstudio Frey GmbH
Peter Frey founded his music studio in 1973 as the first and only professional accordion teacher training center in Switzerland. Sabine Bachmann has been in charge since the end of August.
Today, the Music Studio Frey GmbH as a competence center that is oriented towards the standards of international universities.
With the opening of the "Akkordeon-Jugend-Akademie Reinach", a new teaching module is being offered that takes account of the changed school conditions and aims to provide targeted support for ambitious accordion students. The director of this new institution is Lina Frey. Musikstudio Frey GmbH regularly offers further training courses that are open to professional musicians and interested amateurs. In addition, the focus is on instrument trading and a comprehensive range of sheet music, including in-house publishing.
New management
Peter Frey has now handed over the management of the institute to his daughter Sabine Bachmann-Frey at the 40th anniversary celebrations on August 25. He will continue to work as a music teacher and internal consultant.
Sabine Bachmann-Frey's first professional training was a diploma as an accordion teacher in her parents' music studio and, as a permanent employee for more than 20 years, she has in-depth knowledge of the business. Her initial training was followed by studies in piano with Patrizio Mazzola in Lucerne and Bern, which she completed with a teaching and concert diploma. Master classes abroad and several years of further training in jazz and improvisation complete her portfolio. Sabine Bachmann-Frey has made a name for herself as an accompanist (e.g. at the Sursee Municipal Theatre) and performs with various professional ensembles, e.g. the Salontrio founded by her and her husband Sven Bachmann (clarinet and saxophone) La Jalousie. Sabine Bachmann-Frey directs the Aargau operetta ensemble The bats. In addition to her work at Musikstudio Frey, she teaches a piano class in Seengen AG, is a member of the Peter Frey Regional Accordion Orchestra and leads its junior formation.
