We show ways
- To develop breathing, embochure and play feeling, which lay the foundations for light, effortless and resonant instrument playing.
- To develop musical expression .
Including an exclusive interview about learning with the neurobiologist Prof. Dr. Gerald Hüther.
The DVD shows 5 trumpet workshops for children and young adults ,between the ages of 5 and 20.
The workshops were held in conjunction with the feldenkrais practitioner Annegret Lucke.
The workshops are a combination of trumpet tuition and feldenkrais lessons and in this environment our pupils come to terms with blowing techniques and other musical issues.
We demonstrate
- How they explore the relationship between posture, breathing, play feeling and sound and become aware how trumpet playing gets easier
- How the pupils discover the possibilities of musical expression and how they extend their repertoire
- How they develop their own ideas and inspire each other with their new found observations.
