About Alexandra Rappitsch

Alexandra Rappitsch studied with W. Klasinc in Graz and with M. Frischenschlager and R. Küchl in Vienna. She completed her studies with a Master of Music degree in New York. While studying in New York, where she focused on chamber music with F. Galimir and Joel Smirnoff, she shifted her focus to pedagogy, inspired by Lewis Kaplan, director of the Pre-College Division of the Juilliard School of Music. Since 1991, she has been teaching in Austria and has developed classes for gifted students in Styria and at the conservatory in Feldkirch, and has also been involved in developing programs to promote gifted students in the province of Lower Austria.

Well over 100 first prize winners of national and international competitions have taken her students to concerts in New York, Toronto, Venice, Hanover, Chur, Budapest, Salzburg, Graz, and Vienna. Many of her students now hold top positions in the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras and other leading orchestras. Her teaching is characterized by the finest technical refinement of musical and artistic expression. She has lectured, served as a juror, and given presentations in all provinces of Austria, Germany, South Tyrol, and Switzerland.

Classes

The classes aimed to encourage children’s passion in music and foster their joy in making music. Daily rehearsals, practice and companionship have a positive impact on their ability to strengthen their qualities and musical development. The period of two weeks make sustainable pedagogical effects possible. Lectures share their expertise, but also their great love for music. Lessons, accompaniment and chamber music training will provide participants with new experiences. Parents escort their children and are part of the courses to encourage and support their children best possible at the courses as well as during the year.

Accompaniment

In addition to the classes, numerous accompanists will be available to help participants study and prepare for the music programme within the context of the course. The number of lessons goes by the children´s abilities and according to the professors.
