Old: Please save your place!

Even if the
basic offer
many things are already included, it is still important that you book your fixed place in the respective unit. This means that you have to add the respective unit to the shopping cart in the Organizer to secure your place.

You can find more information about the basic offer here.

Alt: Band coaching, band unit, band teaching unit

The following scenario: An existing music group/band books a one-to-one lesson with an instructor. There are different styles and instructors to choose from. Or with more imagination: an entire register of a music association wants to train and books the right instructor. A unique opportunity – a shared experience!

We recommend booking your band units first and then your individual timetable. In this way, overlaps can be avoided.

You can find more information here.

Alt: Band manager, band leader, band organizer

The person who is responsible for booking the band lessons and sends the 6-digit joining codes for joining as a band in the organizer.

The Woodstock Academy is for everyone. That is our credo. And that’s why we also try to make the locations and premises as barrier-free as possible. However, this is not always completely possible. Parking is available at most locations and many venues are equipped with lifts. However, if you have any specific questions, please contact us directly at office@woodstockacademy.at. We will then respond to your individual questions and can give you more details about the accessibility of the places relevant to you.

In principle, the Woodstock Academy’s modular system is incredibly simple. Despite the huge range of products on offer, there are only two things that need to be distinguished. On the one hand, there is the extensive basic offer included in the basic price. On the other hand, there is the additional offer, which you can book as you wish for an extra charge.

The basic offer includes all workshops, events, lectures & interviews and the group offer in the Mental & Vital category. A kind of “half-board” musical training. If you want to go the whole hog, you can book additional offers according to your wishes and taste.

Please note for the basic offer: you still have to register individually for the individual units to secure your place!

Alto: Brass instruments

Brass instruments include the following: trumpet, flugelhorn, horn, tenor horn, euphonium, baritone, bass trumpet, trombone, bass trombone and tuba.

Alt: Lecturers, course leaders, professionals, workshop leaders, masters, brass music stars, teachers, instructors

Those professional musicians who pass on their knowledge and skills to you. You can find an overview of all Woodstock Academy instructors under the menu item Instructors.

Alt: Subjects, courses, modules, courses

All courses, both those included in the basic offer and the additional offer.

One session lasts 50 minutes. That’s why the whole day is divided into 50-minute units. 50 minutes is therefore our currency unit in which we trade. From lunch breaks to individual lessons – your daily schedule should always be divisible by 50. Mathematics for musicians. There may also be exceptions. Also typical.

Alt: Part of the organizer

All the units you would like to book are collected in the shopping cart. As soon as the first unit lands in your shopping cart, you have 30 minutes to complete the booking – that’s how long the seats are reserved for you. You can expand your timetable at any time later and book additional units.

Alt: Masterclass, individual lesson, private lessons, individual rehearsal

50-minute individual lessons. Just you and your lecturer. Specific pieces or a free program are rehearsed. Depending on the level. Depending on your wishes. Individual lessons are not included in the basic offer and cost 49 euros per unit. You can book a maximum of 3 units with one instructor.

You can find the offers for private lessons here.

Alt: Level, performance level

It’s up to you! In order to book the right courses and adapt the content to the participants, it is important that you correctly assess your ability. We have three levels. Level 1, 2 and 3. There are also some courses where no specific level is required, these are marked with level “all”.

Level 1 (solid):

From beginners to the bronze performance badge, from not too fast to solid on the road. From young musicians to hobby musicians. Gentle, but with fun. Comfortable.

Level 2 (good):

From bronze to silver, from advanced to intermediate. Not yet in the speed gear but already moving fast. In the middle school, so to speak. Confident on the instrument, confident in the range, confident in the fast runs. Hot and fast.

Level 3 (really good):

Practiced a lot, played a lot. Perhaps they have already been awarded the Golden Performance Badge, are on their way to an entrance examination or are studying music and preparing for auditions.

Both teachers and ensembles that play at concerts.

As musicians, you certainly know what is meant by “register”. The name that indicates which instrument group you belong to. Your “team”, so to speak. Your husband and wife team. Your musical background. Your instrument. Some courses are specially designed for individual registers. Some are also intended purely for woodwind or brass players. When registering, please check which places are still available!
