Episode 2 with Tabea Zimmermann

Welcome to the 1000+ Concerts Podcast, a conversation series on "The Art of Practicing" by Musethica! Joining the host Avri Levitan is violist Tabea Zimmermann, whose approach to music-making and teaching has influenced generations of musicians. “Train the ear first, the hands will find a way to express the music.” Teaching is a process of guiding students to explore possibilities through imagination and sound experiments. What is the key to making necessary repetition remain meaningful rather than mechanical? Find out about the challenges of today’s learning habits: What might be lost when young musicians turn too quickly to recordings instead of discovering a piece on their own? Vibrato, breathing, and the shared experience of performing are a glimpse of the topics explored in the full episode.
