We are pleased to announce the publication of a new audio program recorded by Jerry karzen during a two-day workshop for musicians in 2012. This course followed up on the popular program Jerry taught for musicians in Vienna in 2010. In both courses 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. In the 2010 workshop there is special emphasis on the use of the hands and arms and their support by the trunk. In 2010 there is more attention to breathing and developing central support responsive and comfortable sitting. Each recording includes 8 lessons.The audio program from the 2010 course has been greeted enthusiastically and we are pleased to now be able to offer the two courses together as they each beautifully compliment and amplify the work of the other.
