Everyone of us - unfortunately - gets into conflict situations now an then. Especially in those situations it would be extremely beneficial to all affected parties to understand each other, whereby this is the most unlikely occurrence then. Those conflicts pretty often tend to stir up and cause nothing than harm and suffer to all affected parties. This course intends to convey an alternative, more empathetic perspective, which is fundamentally based on scientifical evidence derived from Social, Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology. Equipped with this new knowledge the participant gets enabled to take a more sophisticated and sustainable position in conflicts. A perspective that should not only enhance the ability to reflect his/her own conflict-related behavior, but even more to understand the regarding behavior of other persons. Ultimately understanding the emotional behavior of him/herself and others can prepare to prospectively contribute in a constructive instead of destructive manner in case of conflicts.

With me, you'll learn not only the basics like technique and music reading, but also how to truly understand music and enjoy playing it. Over the past few years, I've taught many different students—from children to adults—and learned how important it is to remain flexible. Some need clear structures and technical exercises, while others prefer to play pieces that immediately excite them. I enjoy exploring this path together. My lessons are relaxed yet goal-oriented: I want my students to feel progress and experience music as something that enriches their everyday lives.

My role as a music teacher has always involved dealing not only with my students' musical abilities, but also with their holistic development. Music and games in particular were elements that I dealt with in my work as a researcher and educator. I have been working for several years with children ranging in age from three to adults age 82. Given the following personality aspects, I can offer you the following: - My several years of experience working as a teacher in vulnerable communities in Colombia - A multidisciplinary approach, consisting of games and traditional music from Latin America and Europe. - Pedagogical material of our own authorship in connection with the introduction to music and the violin, including playing.
