“I had a performance with a big band a fortnight ago. During the concert I had the feeling that I was doing well. I observed my way of playing. And I found out that I was standing very firmly on my feet, my back was completely straight, my breathing was very relaxed and therefore the playing felt natural. This has really only happened since the coaching sessions with Katharina.”

Chris, Master student trumpet

“Through Katharina’s coaching sessions I found more ease in playing my instrument, especially because I am aware of the better support I can get from my legs and the position of my head. It gives me better control of the instrument but also more softness.”

Sabine, violin professional

“Katharina’s exercises to be aware of my body in space helped me to feel more present on stage and more connected to my colleagues and the audience. I also noticed that I was happier to play, and somehow more awake. And when I took the time to put the exercises into my own practice, I felt less stressed and more at ease.”
