'Let it happen!'

 

Dear Friend,

 

let it happen was the philosphy of Kató Havas.


Playing violin or viola should be natural, like our walking or many other movements that we learn naturally. She developed a way to find our natural movements applied to string playing, to prevent and eliminate physical tensions that make playing very difficult, generate in us insecurity and often paralyzing stage fright.


The ultimate aim for all performers is to be able to play more easily to be able to express themselves freely.



About this, the famous string magazine The Strad in its September issue has dedicated a long article to Kato Havas and her New Approach. I was asked to contribute, together with others who were connected with her. I really reccommend you read it, it is very interesting, with references to other famous pedagogues including Menuhin, who praised her work, and nice biographical anecdotes.


You can read it online for free, on The Strad website. You only need to register and then choose to get a seven-day free subscription (no credit card needed) and read as many articles as you like. Otherwise, you can buy the printed version or find it in a music library.

Of course, if you want to know more and experience yourself a new approach to your instrument, do not hesitate to contact me.


Happy music!
