Care Student – Your Information Survey on Health Insurance!
Since the beginning of my studies in Linz, I have experienced a lot at the university. And now I would like to share my experiences with you.
I am excited that the Bruckneruni is a place where tradition meets modernity. The hypermodern building of the university was built on the site of a 15th century castle destroyed in the 20th century. On the walls you can find modern artworks by famous Austrian artists and quotes by Anton Bruckner. I perceived this combination of old and modern from the very beginning, when I entered the building for the first time.
There are students from different nationalities at the university. But almost all of them speak German, and that's why I have the opportunity to practice German now. Before, I learned German only at school and had few opportunities to really speak German. And I can feel it now, how my German is improving all the time. And some people use different Austrian dialects. Sometimes it's a bit harder for me to understand them well, but it's exciting to listen to different varieties of German. I also met a couple of students from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, including two I had known before: recorder player Lucie and violin player Patrick. I enjoy spending time with my colleagues. Most of the time we meet in the university café.
My lessons are not only about music, but I have also signed up for the course "Bodywork". There we try different forms of movement, for example Qigong. The reason is to cultivate our performance skills. But very important for me was to be able to tinker with a whole harpsichord for the first time in my life during a two-day seminar. I tried out new keels to make. They are essential because they pluck the harpsichord strings. I also like "general bass days," where the whole harpsichord class discusses harpsichord accompaniment with our professor, Anne-Marie Dragosits. There is room for different ideas here, and it is enriching to see what others think about the subject.
I am very happy that I got the chance to participate in the event "Hoamatgsang". At the university they celebrated 70 years of the Upper Austrian national anthem at the end of November and many politicians and state administrators were invited. Among them was the governor of Upper Austria, Thomas Stelzer. You could always feel the festive atmosphere: Lights at the stage, beautiful robes, good food. My colleagues Julia from the Netherlands, Ixta from Spain and I talked there not only about our national anthems, but also about other anthems that are important for us personally. I also mentioned the Czech national anthem and the Slovak vocal piece "Aká si mi krásna" by Eugen Suchoň. When I was younger, I sang in a boys' choir in Slovakia, and this anthem is THE anthem for all Slovak choral singers. At the end we played a medley of different hymns that we had prepared ourselves and arranged for flute, piano and percussion.
Only one week later, there was the orchestra project "Euridice" at the university organized by our department "Alte Musik". In this project, my colleagues and I played very emotional and energetic French baroque music. It was a selection of pieces from operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and Jean-Philippe Rameau. There are always many memorable moments when you can play together with people who also love music. During the project I met most of the students in our department. We rehearsed a lot together and after the concert we celebrated our success.
That's all for today, but I am looking forward to several experiences with my colleagues from the university, such as a study trip to Bologna in February, about which I will surely inform you.
