What to expect:
• One-on-one Music Lessons: Dive deep into the art of the marimba with full one-on-one lessons tailored to your skill level.
• Chamber music: Collaborate with fellow musicians in chamber music lessons, improving ensemble skills, musical interpretation and communication.
• Improvisation lessons: Group lessons in which you will learn to listen, react and improvise on marimba and vibraphone. The skill of improvisation is key to releasing stage fright and connecting with the music.

The professors of the seminar will hold master lectures on important topics related to the percussion career:
1. “How I practiced composition…” – a lecture on how to practice certain compositions and an insight into the seminar professors ideas and approach to music.
2. “The power of warm-up and routine”
3. “Percussion as a professional career!” – a lecture designed in the form of Q&A (questions and answers) in which the presenters will answer the participants’ questions.
