The Art Of Teaching

with Stefan SCHMIDT

Goals: To provide participants with a toolkit to optimize their teaching to the greatest extent possible. Is there a secret recipe for satisfaction in the profession of an instrumental teacher?

Stefan Schmidt will vividly present new ideas for
instrumental teaching that he has developed over many years
and that are not taken into account in university education.
Non-verbal teaching, tendency-oriented learning, supportive methods of teaching, multidimensional aspects of teaching, motivational work and much more will help participants to redesign and structure their own teaching.
What are the opportunities for the teacher in pandemic times? In most cases, course participants later report a very positive development in the quality of their teaching.

Hans Werner Henze
Shakespeare And Contemporary Music

LECTURE CONCERT with Karlo KRPAN

 Hans Werner Henze was one of the most polarising composers of the second part of the 20th century and the classical guitar was very fortunate to find a way into his great opus. In this concert-lecture Karlo Krpan will perform excerpts of Royal Winter Music, try to decipher the Shakespeare connection and explore Henze’s youth education projects and philosophies.

MISSING THE POINT with Luciano CÓNTINI

Listening to and interpreting baroque music between knowledge and enjoyment.
We know it from Hollywood movies: follow your heart and everything will be fine. The same approach applied to music means: take a seat, relax and enjoy.

Can such an approach be fruitful?

This lecture attempts to analyze the relationship between music enjoyment and its understanding. Common juxtapositions such as "heart vs. brain", "feeling vs. knowledge" or "feeling vs. understanding" will be presented in their banality and it will be shown that emotions and understanding together form an inseparable unit that can lead to the most beautiful musical experience.
