individual lessons
The aim of the course is to improve the physical and mental foundations of music-making. Students will work on posture, movement and tension sequences as well as breathing. If necessary, help is offered to overcome problem situations such as pain when playing and to improve stress management.
The course is held by several teachers with different focuses:
Lecturer:
Andrea Bold
Simple movements and awareness exercises create an awareness of one's own breathing and playing movements. By relaxing, connecting, centering and strengthening the body, a balance of strength and lightness gradually develops in which efficiency, freedom from pain and the joy of playing can be (re)found. Qi Gong and Ideokinesis form the main focus of the work. more
Rita Kautschitz
Our body feels, acts and experiences. This process is reflected functionally in our breathing rhythm and in our movements. How much freedom of movement do we have? How much space is available for our breathing? Where do tensions show up? more
Verena Kircher
Individual care and targeted support for musicians: Working together to identify the causes of challenges and develop suitable solutions. Whether it's the prevention of pain, mental blockages or pedagogical interest - the aim is to fill your personal “toolbox” with versatile aids.
Coretta Kurth
What can I do against nervousness and stress, against tension and pain when playing?
How can I feel comfortable with my instrument in every situation? In our lessons we look for ways to do this through breathing and body work with and without the instrument, through relaxation and mental exercises. more
Niko Maly
My lessons help musicians to strengthen their self-awareness.Through targeted movement exercises and an examination of their body and technique, they learn to improve their playing and release stress-related blockages.The focus is on optimizing movement coordination and economy in order to reduce physical discomfort and promote relaxation.
Veronika Morscher
The focus of my teaching is the interface between body, breath, voice and mind. Through a resource- and needs-oriented approach, I would like to support musicians in their important work as music makers in recognizing their many skills and strengths, reflecting on their needs, goals and limits and, by means of perception, breathing and mindfulness exercises, stage work, yoga and body awareness as well as self-esteem strengthening, accompany them holistically in finding their (personal and professional) path in harmony with their needs and personality.
Thomas Lachtner
Efficiency and performance through a friendly approach to yourself.
Be present in your body, be aware of your needs and limits and learn to deal with them in a beneficial and benevolent way.
Recognize movement habits and, if necessary, give the system the opportunity to reorganize, supported by perception exercises, experienced anatomy or the embodiment of inner images.
Sabine Skopal
My lessons offer the opportunity to consciously experience the basics of one's own breathing, posture, movement and fine motor skills on the instrument, to recognize and reduce any deficiencies in these areas or to make good use of existing resources and develop them further. more
Monika Witzany
My lessons take place in individual work and in the group: Feldenkrais Group.
A special concern in the individual work is the work directly on the instrument, because this is the only way to integrate an efficient and pain-free self-organization into the game for sustainable success. more
