Integrated into the Musethica concert weeks, this seminar format blends lecture and interactive discussion, encouraging musicians at all levels to reflect on their own approaches to daily practice. Topics range from technical routines to mental strategies, as well as the emotional highs and lows that often accompany the repetitive nature of practicing an instrument. Led by the session tutor, questions to be addressed include:

• What is our goal as performers?
• How do we build technique that supports expression?
• What does the audience actually hear?
• How do we develop deep concentration and effective practice habits?

Attendees are invited to share personal insights, struggles, and strategies, making the seminar not just a lecture, but a workshop to exchange experiences. Whether you’re a student or an experienced performer, educator or interested musician — you are invited to share and discover new approaches to practicing — both solo and in ensemble.
