ORDA-2023 Teachers' conference

Saturday 8 July 2023, 10:00–18:00

Part of the Open Recorder Days Amsterdam is the Teachers’ conference. The ORDA festivals 2015, 2017 and 2019 offered a varied and very diverse range of speakers and we are once again hoping for a very interesting event on Saturday 8 July 2023.

The theme this year will be: “Making the music your own: expression and stage presence in music education.” Sometimes you see young players having very mature attitudes. In expression, body language, and the individual character they give to the notes, they are way ahead of their age. What is the secret of the teachers who 'shape' these students?
