Wanda Wilkomirska, to whom she came when she was fourteen and with whom she studied for seven years in Mannheim, had the greatest influence on her.

Born in Würzburg, she was accepted at the age of twelve into the early music class of Conrad von der Goltz at the local conservatory. Later she studied there with Sören Uhde and obtained a master class diploma. Prior to that, she earned an artistic diploma with honors at the Salzburg Mozarteum - here her teachers were Dr. Helmuth Zehetmair and Ruggiero Ricci.

In Salzburg she also began to play the viola.

Furthermore, she learned a lot in master classes: with Ida Haendel (in Lübeck), Zakhar Bron (Vienna), Yfrah Neaman (Weimar), Herman Krebbers (Brussels), Alberto Lysy (Brussels), Menachem Pressler (Basel), Siegfried Palm (Mannheim), Krzysztof Wegrzyn (Gdansk) and Thomas Brandis (Regensburg).

With the trio she also studied chamber music at the University of Music and Drama Hannover with Hatto Beyerle.

For many years she was an ensemble member of the Camerata Würzburg.

She has been repeatedly broadcast on radio and television and has recorded Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst's Variations on "The Last Rose of Summer" on CD, among others.

She has been making music with her sister, pianist Karla-Maria Cording, since childhood. The sisters made their official debut in 1998 at the Würzburg Residence, sparking a storm of enthusiasm at the time.

As a teenager, she won prizes at the "Jugend musiziert" competition, where she is now a frequent juror, and attended a humanistic high school, where she learned Latin and ancient Greek.

Her violin is a "Jörg Wunderlich" from Markneukirchen.
