FEN SPECIALS · HARMONICA MASTERS · TRAININGS

Master workshops, trainings for teachers or FEN specials — 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. In workshops and courses, we will also increasingly combine it with other instruments that gives us inspiration for a versatile playing.

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.

ACCORDION MASTER WORKSHOPS 2025

The time has come. We are joining forces with other instruments from the family of reed instruments. In November, there will be fantastic master workshops with jazz accordionist Fe Fritschi and Berlin-based world music accordionist Cathrin Pfeifer. Look forward to three intensive days full of music and encounters with like-minded people.

FEN MASTER WORKSHOPS 2027 – For Harmonica and accordion

The second FEN MASTER WORKSHOPS Berlin promise to be exciting: great virtuosity meets an enormous stylistic richness. With Antonio Serrano, Joan Pau Cumellas, and Mikael Bäckmann, world-class musicians are once again coming to Berlin. In 2027, they will be joined by Jakob Steinkellner. The Austrian accordionist will guide his participants on a journey to explore sound and musical identity. Quim Roca extends a special welcome to teachers who want to learn how they can mentally support their students through breathing techniques while playing the harmonica.

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
