Joy in Learning and Teaching

Constantly seeking self-improvement, exploring, and discovering new paths: That's exactly what distinguishes the artist and musician Clemens Schaller. Teaching and learning go hand in hand.

Seeking new pedagogical approaches, listening to and learning music, playing or singing music, being creative on an instrument, reading sheet music, practicing and feeling rhythm—Clemens Schaller has always been on the lookout for simple and innovative approaches for both himself and his students.

"For me, it's about the balance between input and output. It requires the interplay of listening to music, practicing the instrument, reading sheet music, feeling and learning rhythm, acquiring musical knowledge on the instrument, improvising, and staying creative and curious."
