I don't know anything about music, I can consider myself a real caveman in that sense. But Mr. Zander is able to drag you in his world and spend hours listening to his passion. I wish I was able to meet him and let the energy flow through my body. He's inspiring, he truly is.

This is definitely the most joyful interpretation class I’ve seen! This just further proves that playing Mozart brings out the best in musicians.

He gives her so much confidence; the mark of a great leader.

[@sedatakkas8427]

Such an amazing teacher. Even I inspired from him and wanna take my violin on my hand, play untill morning

[@imogencarney3421]

I feel a lot of mozart's music is full of such a pure unblemished joy , a childlike happiness to truly play these peices you must feel that joy pouring out of you. You can feel it just listening to the music let alone being the vessel for it.

This guy is such a character! Wish I could have a master class with him! Also, I know this piece very well having played it since I was 15. This piece may seem easy note per note, but believe me, it's the playing the notes clean and with good articulation and lots of lush vibrato that makes it so difficult! All while going 140 bpm! And under pressure! I for sure noticed a huge difference in the violinist's performance when the master class teacher was goofing around a bit as she played. I will for sure remember this guy the next time I perform live! Thanks.

I wish i had a mentor like mr zander… he is such a kind granpa who embraces all kinds of worries

[@jewelryboxballerina]

Violin is so hard to play, esp under pressure. People just don't know the pain.

[@LordCarmesimXXVII]

Wow what a huge diference when she plays with him, amazing.

[@Beer-can_full_of_toes]

I love how his excitement always has him out of breath. If only more leaders in work places and government and anywhere could bring this energy and knowledge.

OMG! Even after 30 years, Ben is still dancing!!!!

[@tuberrosa1092]

Crying inside with joy for her and having fun watching this.

[@mingng3721]

A great inspiration and teacher Mr. Zander. Thank you.

The tender version of the slow movement was soooo touching.

[@arwo1143]

You know,... my one problem with Mozart is... no matter how you play it,

[@gsm2424]

She sounded so much better with his advice. Mozart is the most difficult composer to play, at least for me.

[@guilhermejjj4439]

She is a brilliant violinist!!!

“Can you do it again, and pretend that your life is great?” Love him 😍

[@cathytai]

Beautiful playing and intonation - I think she'll go on to great things.
