The Benedetti Foundation announces Mini Virtual Sessions for the Fall! The sessions are short, focused workshops designed to provide in depth and detailed exploration on a wide variety of topics. There will be separate sessions for young people, music students, teachers and adult learners. These workshops will be in the form of practical sessions concentrating on technique, physicality and wellbeing, as well as discussion sessions and a focus on personal and professional development for students and teachers.

This summer, Nicola Benedetti launched the Virtual Benedetti Sessions, a large music education project dedicated to providing string education for players of all ages and standards.

Reflecting on launching her Virtual Sessions, Benedetti says: “The most shocking thing was just how close you can feel to people when you’re not seeing any of them physically in front of you. Certainly it’s possible to do a lot more through a screen than I ever imagined, although there are many ways in which we can improve our video materials in the future. I think we’ve demonstrated, albeit in a very condensed and rushed form, the endless potential of online learning and content, but it will never replace getting together physically.”
