TESTIMONIALS
Hear what the Timani certification students have to say about Timani and the course!
“Timani uses functional anatomy to create a toolbox for a life-time of healthy playing”
“I would highly recommend this course if you want to develop your playing / singing and if you are keen on learning the background of movement and alignment. This course gives you both: the theory and exercises to understand, train and improve. On top it´s exciting to watch other musicians on / with other instruments sing and play and grow and learn how to help them.”
“To learn about all the connections between mind and body is truly mind-blowing. I can’t wait to learn more and get deeper into the layers of being human.”
“It is a treasure of a course that is thoughtful, challenging, enriching and inspiring. The attention to detail is apparent from the beginning. It has broadened my understanding of our bodies’ capacity to make music and has helped me connect to that power. Timani is committed to providing quality education as well as being sensitive and curious to the needs of its students. I am thrilled to be a part of the Timani certification course.”
“I took the Timani weekend intro course in 2015 and for lack of a better phrase I had my mind blown. “Someone actually knows this stuff?!” It was such an empowering relief to get clear, anatomical explanations of things I had experienced, but which my teachers hadn’t been able to help me with.
I used the exercises on my own for months afterwards and they helped, but for some reason I didn’t think the teacher training certification was for me.
Finally my hunger for the whole big picture outweighed everything else and I applied. I can’t believe I waited so long!!! I learned SO much in only two weeks, had incredible support from the amazing teachers, and came away with more than enough tools to keep me busy the whole year. This course is unique in that it focuses on the whole person, each individual is seen, heard, and gets what they need. I honestly can not wait for Level 2 this summer!”
Christine Clancy, Flutist
“Basically I have no time to practice in my daily life as a freelance cellist, a teacher as well as a mother of two children. Since I have learned Timani it has been bringing me a hope that I can continuously develop as a musician even without sitting by my cello. Because all Timani exercises I can easily apply in my daily life, and it gives directly an effect on my cello playing. I am really astounded!”
Jungen Linderholm, cellist
“Timani was the missing link to understanding my body when playing music”
Benedicte Brænden, singer songwriter
“Timani has helped me access my body in a way I didn’t know was possible. It helped me understand why I had certain technical issues and how to overcome them. I am incredibly grateful for this knowledge!”
Lydia Bryngelsson, classical singer
“If you want to play/sing with more freedom, and teach the same to others, take the certification course!”
Linn Lillsunde, violinist
“As a yoga teacher for almost 20 years I am amazed by the quality of teaching offered by Timani in Norway. The anatomy, along with the integration and application of anatomy for human movement and addressing the specific needs of each muscian is outstanding. I am inspired by the teachers of Timani! The personal coaching and Timani training helps each person learn and work from a safe and integrative place of personal growth and knowledge.”
Maria Hamburger, yoga teacher
“This course has given me inspiration and impetus in how children can be taught to grow into fine musicians who can feel the deep connections within their bodies when making music effortlessly. It has also given me a renewed appreciation for how marvelous our bodies are. The Timani community is an amazing bunch of musicians!”
Sharon Lai, pianist and Suzuki piano teacher
