We'll run a New
Approach workshop in Oxford, based on Kató
Havas' works: New Approach to string instruments. Find
out how to eliminate tendonitis,
tensions and aches and pains caused by
playing violin, and even more, viola, eliminate
stage fright and improve your
tone instantly!
ESTA
CONFERENCE
Just a few days before our workshop, Kato Havas will be giving a
presentation about "Stage
fright" on Sunday 1st September at this year's ESTA
(European String
Teachers Association) conference, which will be
held in Oxford, from 28th August to 1st
September. At
the conference also the ESTA president
will
be present,
the famous Italian viola
player Maestro
Bruno Giuranna,
who will be giving a presentation and
a masterclass.
Our workshop will be after the
conference. For anyone interested, it is an opportunity to combine the
two things in a week's holiday: to see and hear Kato Havas in person
and then come to our workshop. More information on the ESTA
conference.
Come to the workshop that Caroline Duffner and I will
run on Thursday, Friday & Saturday 5 to 7 September 2013 from 10.30 to start at 11.00 am to 5.00 pm (with a lunch
break) within the splendid framework of at St Edmund's Hall, Oxford, UK, 60 miles from
London, continuing Kató Havas' tradition of her workshops.
Caroline Duffner is Kató Havas’ representative in
Austria; I translated into Italian three books by Kató Havas and am
Kató Havas’ representative for violas in UK.
Take advantage of this
opportunity also to visit one of the most beautiful cities in the
world, Alice's "Wonderland".

Many musicians spend years
suffering because of aches and pains
and even tendonitis
in their arms, neck, shoulders, back, wrists, hands, carpal tunnel
syndrome etc.; they stop playing and start again, some even undergo
operations and then stop playing altogether, not to mention the emotional tension...
Many resort to the use of tranquillizers,
beta-blockers, alcohol or other drugs before exams, auditions,
concerts, any public performance to overcome
their stage fright. To me this is totally crazy!
What would you think if other workers had to do the same simply to be
able to do their job? Let's say, if a fireman were so scared of his
task
(with good reasons) that he needed to take some chemical stuff?
Wouldn't you think there must be something wrong?
Performing is the musician's job, whatever his or her level, whether
they are amateurs, students or professionals. Yet for a lot of players,
it seems that, the more seriously they study, the worse their situation
becomes, with regard to stage fright.
It's really a shame because it is
possible to eliminate all nuisances that afflict players, in a
very simple way, knowing
the correct movements to do while playing: simple things that could
help you improve your tone,
increase your ease, your agility in playing, also by heart, eliminate the insecurity
and therefore the anxiety, the stage
fright.
BOOST YOUR
SELF-CONFIDENCE
When you eliminate your stage fright, you will boost your self-confidence because
you recover your ability to control this situation.
