What We Offer

Workshops, Master Classes, Lectures and Private Lessons

  • Timani provides a whole new awareness when it comes to exactly what we need with regard to the requirements of musicians. I am happy that I found something as specialized as this.

    – Leif Ove Andsnes, pianist

  • “It is crazy how little we know about what the body actually wants and what is good for it. And it is unbelievable what one can get used to when we don’t know better. If one first has become aware of the possibilities, it is impossible to go back to old technique.”

    – Marte H. Wulff, artist

Workshops, Master Classes and Lectures

Our Timani workshops, masterclasses and lectures for musicians are normally run over a few hours, one day or one weekend/several days. You’ll find both online and in person events in the course calendar, or you can go to the contact form and request to book a teacher for your institution or ensemble. We find it essential to create a positive and safe environment in our courses, as a foundation to learn these new and exciting tools.

In a Timani workshop you’ll learn anatomy and exercises to enhance your coordination. Most importantly you’ll learn how to relate all this to playing your instrument or singing. If you are inspired to dive deep and do the 3-year part-time Timani certification course, you can read more about it here.

In a Timani Workshop you get:

  • Relevant anatomical knowledge aimed at understanding the physical prerequisites of playing or singing

  • A simple anatomical playing/singing analysis

  • Targeted exercises to access some new muscles and expand the movement options while playing or singing

  • Implementation of the exercise while performing music

    In the sessions, one will deepen one’s knowledge about the anatomy behind the exercises and gain insight into how this understanding influences the practical part of the course.

Private Sessions

Many of our Timani teachers are spread around the world. You find them in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Iceland, France, Scotland, England, The Netherlands, Greece, the USA and more. Some of them also offer online sessions. Go to the contact form an express your interest if you wish to get in contact with a teacher in your area or online.

In a Timani private session you’ll get an analysis of your playing, and learn individualized theory and exercises to get access to more of your physical potential when playing. Timani is not a form of physical therapy, but many musicians have found great complimentary help through Timani exercises when it comes to playing related pains and injuries. You’ll learn basic principles about the body, and how to gain more mental security in your individual practice as a musician through knowing more about the body. The lessons are adjusted to your wishes and needs at the moment.

 In a Timani private session you get:

  • A specific analysis of your playing/singing – through yours and your teacher’s observation

  • The anatomical knowledge needed to understand what you observed

  • Specifically guided exercises for optimizing how you use your body while playing or singing, improving motor skill and coordination, and how you can sense what you do more precisely.

  • Implementation of the new physical coordination and sensory experience in your playing/singing.

  • Reviewing how this affected your ability to access musical expression in a more direct and natural way, and if this felt new or comfortable to you.
