TESTIMONIALS
"Thank you for what was a mind-blowingly refreshing two weeks, I still can't really believe that we're now back in the 'real' world again! These last two weeks have really completely changed the way how I think and view life as well as music. Thank you so much for helping me enrich my life with a desire to learn and explore and be curious."
Esther, violin
"One of most important things I got out of this project is the confidence and courage in being exactly who I am, and not being afraid to say what I want to say also through playing. I regained my hope in classical music industry and found the lost joy of performing. But most importantly I met amazing people, who will continue to inspire me, even from a great distance."
Weronika, violin
"I came with an empty heart. I am leaving healed."
Ozgur, cello
"I gained knowledge into many different aspects of musicianship.
the course encouraged me to think more away from my instrument to improve my playing when I return to it. I left with improved confidence and view of myself as a musician"
Hattie, viola
"I don’t think I can articulate enough how much it meant to me to be able to actually sit and discuss so many topics which I’m deeply passionate about with people around my own age. I am really grateful for it.
Indubitably, I would love to have the opportunity to be a part of this again.
This course provided me with an invaluable outlet to discuss my special interests with my peers, and fostered an environment in which I felt I could easily understand my peers and converse freely with them, both of which I don’t have the opportunity to experience very often.
I immensely enjoyed the chamber music and sight- reading, as it’d been quite a while since I’d last played in a chamber group.
The location was superb, the weather was fantastic, and it afforded some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen."
Leslie, violin
"I just wanted to thank you with all my heart for making this incredibly wonderful course possible for me! It has been days filled of unbelievable warmth and inspiration, it was such a valuable life experience that I wish more people can live! I truly felt like in a family and at the end it really felt like saying goodbye to brothers and sisters! Well anyway, I know it was all the start of an immensely beautiful adventure and I am so so happy!"
Nina, cello
"Those ten days in Popiglio in Casa Nicola, with a group of amazing people, have truly been magical. It has been an incredible journey of discovery which I am very excited to continue, will try my best to assimilate and incorporate as many things as possible into my everyday life as well as remembering what those very special moments felt like. I am extremely grateful for having been a part of TTM"
Elena, viola
"I think I speak for all of us when saying that TTM has changed our lives."
Tom, violin
