Never play a sound that doesn’t come from
somewhere and doesn’t go anywhere. Isaac Stern

You play an instrument very well, want to expand your artistic skills, give concerts, play in an ensemble, answer your questions about man and music? Then the “Instrumental Pedagogy” course could be the very thing for you! The training is project-related and practical. You will receive a broad musical education and learn the basics of anthroposophical anthropology. From the second year of training you will teach yourself and organize your own project concert.
