Anyone been to Austria?

[mikey6]

I've got a week or so free in Austria and I was wondering if anyone knew any good teachers that would be worth getting in contact with over there?
thanks

wow.  austria.  you are lucky.  why would u spend it with a teacher?  why don't u see the sights?  it's such a beautiful place, i hear.  do you want to return and study with a teacher?  must be THE place in europe to study music.

Thanks.  It's not a holiday trip, I've finished uni so now looking to head overseas.  (Plus i've seen the sights before )  So I need all the names I can get - it get's expensive having to keep travelling if I don't find anyone

you're probably over 16 - so this might not be help - but you can study with four teachers through 'vienna international pianist'  summer program

www.programs2.studyabroad.com/Summer/Austria.html  (scroll down to 'Vienna International Pianist')

maybe they'll make an exception.  that's one way to find a teacher - to be able to try out several.

another site i found:  www.iesabroad.org/opencms/IESAbroad/home.html

you probably already found these.  those two and also the summer acadamy (mozart something ur other)  with e-mail to summer.academy@moz.ac.ut

I have been in Vienna, Austria. It was a wonderful trip. THE city for a classical musician. Every evening there are concerts in the city, you can visit Mozart's house, Haydn's house, many museums,...
You will enjoy this holliday

Well, I lived there for the first 9 years of my life, but apart from that, I can't really recommend anyone! I suppose Badura-Skoda doesn't teach privately any more... although I saw a masterclass with him a few months ago.
