45th International Viola Congress 2018

In this workshop, participants learn the basics of the Resonance Training for musicians (originally ‘Resonanzlehre’). Resonance Training is a musical sound body practice to enhance quality of sound, freedom of movement and richness of emotional expression. Quality of sound means that the musician creates the sound quality s/he wishes to appear in the room. Freedom of movement means lightness in the movement and full ability for the musician to respond and react to the sound as it is. Richness of emotional expression means that how the musician feels the music is fully represented in the sound waves at the ears of the listeners. The key sentence of Resonance Training is: “The more resonant the sound, the freer the musical movement.”
