What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
In German there is a saying: “Der Weg ist das Ziel” meaning “The way is the goal”. The way to the top may be long and challenging, but never let the difficulties discourage you: on the contrary embrace the experiences and the emotions and they will take you further. And don’t compare yourself with others: each person has his/her own way – be happy with yours.
