ACADEMY

FEN SPECIALS · ACCORDION MASTERS · TRAININGS

Master workshops, FEN Specials, or training courses for teachers—the FEN Academy is bringing new inspiration to the world of harmonica playing. What makes it special is that it not only creates new formats and events for everyone who loves the harmonica and wants to teach it. In workshops and courses, we will also increasingly combine it with other instruments. We are starting with the accordion. After all, we belong to the same family.

FEN SpecialS

FEN SPECIALS are compact master workshops, masterclasses, and musical salons on various musical and harmonica-specific topics. Our instructors provide insights into their musical world.

Training for Teachers

A steam locomotive in music lessons? Absolutely, because its chuchuuuu is very easy to imitate and extremely musical. We want to bring the harmonica to schools with training for teachers in public schools. The potential for this small instrument is huge and it is easy to get started. Teachers can use the harmonica to teach musical and social skills, and the special way of playing the instrument can help children and young people to reduce stress and anxiety.

  • The harmonica as a vehicle for teaching musical topics in line with the curriculum
  • Breathing techniques for coping with stress and anxiety
