Was there time to digest and reflect?

• Yes, since the seminar was spread over 3 days, we could try the suggestions while practising in the practice room

What did you learn? What did you experience?

• How I can develop a good body and sound feeling

• Flow, don't practise! Have fun to play and deal well with your body

How does what you learned support you in your studies?

How does it enrich you, your person, your creativity?

Other comments

• Other lecturers should also attend this seminar
• Perhaps the individual lessons should be filmed so that the students get a more objective picture of their own practice
• Extremely valuable days that I have been looking forward to for a long time and that will deeply influence me in my life as a musician
• Should definitely be repeated
