On Practicing

May 10th, 2023 11:00 PM

We, therefore, need to change the way we practice. Find more resources on the brand-new Revibrations App. You find the app on the Apple App and the Google Play stores.

Forget Social Media!

Apple Music Classical is the Wrong Move

Apr 13th, 2023 11:14 PM

Apple just launched the long-awaited Apple Music Classical app. Since Apple acquired Primephonic in August 2021, we have waited for that. But is a new music app dedicated to classical music the right move? Bernhard Kerres argues that is the wrong move for many reasons - especially because it puts classical music once more in an elitist ivory tower. But there are some lessons to be learned for musicians and people working in classical music. What do you think? Join us on the Revibration App for a candid discussion! You find the Revibration App in the Apple App and Google Play stores.
