Teresa Wenhart - Music, Brain, Psychology
am i a musician?
Being a musician is a way of life,
a deep inner need to understand the world through sounds and communicate with it.
My training has been and continues to be intense, diverse, and full of passion – though unconventional. It has not only provided me with the technical foundation but also the freedom to find my own path – outside of traditional degrees, yet in the heart of music. I draw inspiration from a variety of influences: from classical music to jazz, from contemporary styles to piano, cello, and choral singing.
Music is, for me, an expression of freedom and individuality.
Being a musician means telling stories, touching people, and putting a part of ourselves into every note – whether on stage, teaching, or simply playing because
the heart demands it.
„A musician is someone who dedicates themselves to a higher idea.”
Gustav Mahler
