Mindful Music Lessons

WHA WE DO

VINNIE(MA,MISM)

Guitars, Ukulele, Piano, Music Production

In the past 16 years, we worked with hundreds of students of all ages & from all walks of life. Over & over again we noticed that a lot of people, especially adults, neglect their well-being and forget that they are human-beings, not human-doings.

We try to reconnect our students with themselves through the power of music and methods of mindfulness.

Online and in person lessons in Greenwich, SE London.

As artist STERGIN he was awarded the prestigious ‘Do It Differently Award’ from Help Musicians UK & his projects received support from Arts Council England.

APPROACH

Sunlight reflection on our wall

The NEUZUGANG APPROACH

Pedro* worked 10 hour days and was very close to a burn-out. We used his guitar lesson to re-connect him to a more mindful experience of life using a mixture of meditation, improvisation, songwriting & learning classical pieces.

Shanice*, a young teenager with OCD & confidence issues, started to write songs with us and her condition and overall well being was positively affected by it.

Sam* had the feeling, time was running too fast. Drumming not only was a great valve for their stress but we also introduced them to FIRSTS THIRST.
