WORKSHOP - Practicing without Problems with Hannie Van Veldhoven

Practicing Without Problems (Learning How to Learn):

Hannie van Veldhoven, visiting from the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, Netherlands, leads this workshop as part of the House of Europe Week. This clinic is designed for anyone who is not satisfied with their current way of practicing their instrument—or, more broadly, with their approach to practicing in general. Various mental patterns and strategies will be explored to help you navigate the wide range of possibilities. Practicing is also about creativity and how to integrate it into your everyday life: are you able to learn, to change, and to develop? Please bring your instrument, as practicing is, of course, an active process.

Mandatory for all participants of Rhythm Training II as well as for all students who register via the link.
