• POWER – STRENGTH – ENERGY - HOW TO HOLD THE MANDOLIN
Instructor: Steffen Trekel
You will be exposed to universal principles of movement so that the player may achieve a free and joyful playing of the mandolin.
Michael Trösters studies in Chinese teachings of movement for years have taken influence on Steffen Trekel's art of playing the mandolin.
The aim is to use one’s flowing energy for a relaxed play without any hindrance. These principles can be equally applied to the mandolin.
