What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
Always be yourself and never give up! Establish who you are, where you want to be and then go for it all guns blazing honey! Make sure you love and believe in what you’re doing and don’t let the knock backs throw you off kilter, remember not everyone may love your music – clearly they just don’t get the fabulous ;). Collaborate and create with other awesome artists, enjoy listening to all the great music that you can and bathe in inspiration at any possible point. Work hard, play harder and always reach for the stars!

Workshop For Pianists At The University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna
DATE:
October 14-15, 2017
PLACE:
University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna – MDW (Austria)
Institut für Konzertfach Klavier – Franz Liszt-Saal
HOSTED BY:
Giuseppe Ravì, Founder and Master Coach of Respiro e Movimento®
WORKSHOP:
Respiro e Movimento® is pleased to announce a Workshop for Pianists at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Pianists will have an opportunity to work with Giuseppe Ravì, Master Coach and expert in restoring the natural balance and harmony in the human body. The main objective of his workshops is for the artist to become aware of unnecessary muscular tensions which prohibit the overall ease required in playing piano.
The result is clear: an overall freedom and strengthening of the essential body movements which enable the artist to physically surpass obstacles which may seem impossible. Pianists will learn how to overcome useless contractions and muscle memory, allowing them to play piano in a more natural, easier and efficient way.
