Progress has no deadline

Being on stage as often as possible is crucial for our development… My approach is all about a bigger picture rather than an immediate outcome… Focusing on continuity.

Looking back at last year’s performances.

The violin and the body

BODY Awareness & Muscle Control & Fine Motor Skills are one of the hardest things to master especially for young children.

VIOLIN is an instrument that very much depends on such awareness right from the start. Slowing down and bringing calmness into a busy world of children’s minds is an absolute necessity.

Being able to feel & understand and control our movements. What should move and what requires stillness or relaxation. (Neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, hands, feet, fingers, fingertips etc)

Creating and inventing exercises that are always supported by progressive and inspiring musical repertoire. Practising our awareness is a must. Observing, feeling, listening and always questioning.

Bringing simplicity and aiming for the most natural feel will become an Anchor for all future progress as well as belief in oneself.

Supportive community

Every lesson is our chance to learn.

Every experience becomes an invaluable lesson. Being part of a supportive community where “we are all teachers and we are all students” gives us a chance to grow in the right direction.

It’s all about the “confidence”.

Being confident doesn’t mean being perfect. It means to have a good knowledge & understanding of what one is learning, doing or trying to achieve.

Becoming confident is like setting off on a long journey. While travelling we will learn to: Be Patient, Be Creative, Discover New Passions, Develope Resilience, Expand our knowledge, Remain Focused as well as gain Invaluable Experience.

However, throughout this journey one will also need a combination of never ending Love, Support, Patience, Empathy , Inspiration and Understanding.
