“To educate means – to me – to help others discovering how to use thought to obtain a larger number of choices while having fun.”
Probably none of us can assure with security how was medieval music back at then. However, this should not stop us from getting as close as we can while developing our artistic personality.
The beauty is when one realises that every little step in the acquisition of knowledge transforms our image of what medieval music is to us.

My philosophy: an intelligent mind is and inquiring mind
Medieval music is a wonderful field to develop thinking skills and to open our mind far beyond the way we understand the world as 21st-century humans: civilization, culture, traditions. As we learn from the past we make questions about the present. We realize we knew little about the origins of today’s world. By stimulating the desire of learning we awake interest in nowadays’ mentality becoming better people.
Some of the persons I admire the most are those who despite the incredible amount of things they have learned, they are still constantly looking for more. They are an example of curiosity and healthy mind. Knowledge is infinite and surrounds us. To enjoy the fruits of this knowledge is your choice.
“She gave us a 5-hour seminar at the CNSMD of Lyon. She showed us depictions and images of sculptures of organetti, we talked about the various types of organetto, materials used for the pipes and performance positions. She then taught us performance practice: how to breath, to phrase, etc. She generously shares her knowledge, and she sincerely explains the things we don’t know about. What was impressive to me is that she talks to us about her research results with lots of fun and joy. We had a fantastic time. Thank you, Cristina!”
