Elisabeth Plank

As an experienced pedagogue, I have been working with students of all levels and age-groups in Vienna and in international masterclasses. I have prepared many of my students successfully for competitions and entrance exams. It is my goal to help my students to find their own voice; thus to be able to express themselves musically. I believe in a solid and flexible playing technique and a relaxed posture as the base for free expression and a long and healthy career as harpist. For me, good technique means using the most natural way possible. My basic principle of teaching is to guide my students to finding the solution themselves to really make them understand why, not only to copy.
