Description

Jerry Karzen’s new audio program was recorded during a two-day workshop for musicians in Vienna, Austria. The participants were made up of musicians of many different backgrounds, including a number from the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Jerry’s style is focused and relaxed as he leads the participants into the depth of the method and its applications for relating to an instrument. His melodious voice leads the participants to investigate a wide range of themes relevant for relating to an instrument, with special emphasis on the use of the hands and arms and their support by the trunk. The recordings include 8 lessons and two talks, one specifically focused on the special challenges of sitting while playing.
