Daniel Levy inaugurates Vincenzo Scaramuzza’s Music School with a piano masterclass in Ascona

PIANO MASTERCLASS BY DANIEL LEVY
5 - 6 - 7- 8 September 2022 – Ascona, Switzerland?

"I don't just teach you to play the piano, I teach you for Life."

 Vincenzo Scaramuzza

Daniel Levy will be conducting a piano masterclass in September 2022 in Ascona, on the Swiss shores of Lake Maggiore, an ideal setting for music.

Levy, one of the most important exponents of the Vincenzo Scaramuzza school -  who has received wide acclaim from the public and international critics for his musicality and technique - has dedicated his life to music, treasuring the teachings he received and manifesting them in concerts as a soloist, in chamber groups, with orchestra and lieder. He has combined pianistic knowledge with his own experience of the principles of Euphony and Listening to help musicians refine and channel their inspirational energy as the breath of Music and transformative act of life.

 A new and special department dedicated to the teaching of music is being brought to life at the International Academy of Euphony, the Vincenzo Scaramuzza Piano School. Created by Levy, a pupil of Maestro Scaramuzza, the school is a tribute to the visionary work of the brilliant teacher and musician, who was born in Crotone. Scaramuzza’s pupils also include world-renowned pianists such as Bruno Leonardo Gelber, Martha Argerich, Fausto Zadra, María Rosa Oubiña de Castro and Michele Boegner, among others.

 The School is for musicians, piano students, young pianists and all those interested in the ever-present legacy bequeathed by Scaramuzza.

The aim of the School is to transmit both the artistic and aesthetic essence of the musical experience and to teach technical skills to the highest level of excellence, in order to bring students closer to the "Dire la Musique” (let the music speak) which was so important to Chopin, as “singing" was for Scaramuzza. The teachings will transform and go beyond the "play", "jouer", "spiel" or "tocar", verbs commonly used to superficially describe making music.

 In Daniel Levy's vision, one of the goals of the new department of the International Academy of Euphony - dedicated to the Vincenzo Scaramuzza Piano School - is to highlight the role of the musician and music in the 21st century, as a necessity for an integral and humanistic Education.
