My thesis

Read about the German-Jewish composer Paul Ben-Haim and about classical music in the State of Israel (in German).

Israel is different

After having lived in Austria for almost all of my life, it was more than strange to make acquaintance with the Israeli reality.

People seem to have a different feeling for time here. They smile a lot, are easily having conversations everywhere about everything, and are extremely open minded.

The slogan in Israel is: "Yihie beseder - it will be ok".

Classical music
Classical music is one of the most important parts of my life. It means pure pleasure and deepest feelings to me.

That is why I don't want to relate to music halfhearted or compromise about it in any way.

Education
Learning is fun, inspiring, and encouraging!

What Carl Orff showed in his work Music for Children, Maria Montessori is incorporating into her educational system: Stimulating environments, the freedom to explore, and the possibility for in-depth studies. "Help me to do it myself!"
