Inspiring and funny analogies
During Zomercursus Woudschoten 2025, I had lessons with Andrea Vasi with two of my ensembles. During the lessons Andrea always keeps inspiring us to play more dramatically and exaggerate the phrasing of the music in such a way that we were able to create a real story out of each of each of the pieces. She does this by describing very well by using funny stories and analogies that usually make everyone laugh in the ensemble. Her experience with different instruments allows everyone in the ensemble to move forwards. For piano specifically, she gave very helpful tips about what I should practice. In the end, Andrea has helped us to get the most out of ourselves as musicians!
