The pianist Yaron Herman showed himself deep at the workshop. To be true to yourself and be open and honest in your expression, he stressed the Importance of being connected to the music and every note you play. The strongest statement of his was that everything you have inside, including the things so personal that you can never even tell people about, are the true materials of art. In the workshops sometimes we get new information about new musical technique, new insight about an ensemble playing,  or new approach to the improvisation. They are all precious and they all give people a fresh motivation. However all the art start inside of us. Inside so deep that we don’t even get to know yet. No matter how foreign it is to us, by realizing the art comes from there, we will progress by a huge step. Mr.Herman demonstrated with the most kind heart in this particular workshop and for sure the participants learned about music in a very deep level.
