Liz Langemann

 

Liz Langemann (45) is a musician from Switzerland. She is a talented flutist, piano player, singer and conductor with a penchant for instrument building. She has a 20-year interest in wood and has done numerous short woodworking courses. When asked why she has decided to take a longer course she replies "because short woodworking courses don't get you anywhere. By the time you have arrived, unpacked and done a bit of sanding it is time to go home again. Besides, I was looking for something different and the time was right to make a change."

 

Liz wants to diversify because full-time positions for musicians are hard to come by. She feels that by building on her skills and interests, she will be able to use her new found knowledge from the course to earn a bit more money.

 

During the woodworking course she plans to make an old-fashioned desk, but instead of building in pigeon-holes for letters and envelopes it will house a laptop and other modern gadgets.
