Excerpts from University Course Evaluations (2018–2025)
“Great experience, the instructor is excellent, I learned a lot!”
“First of all, I would like to thank you again for your great commitment to the students and for your infectious enthusiasm for the subject.”
“As the first time, what I particularly appreciated during the weekend was that a space was created in which one could freely experiment without being judged. In the practical exercises, through creating rhythm together, I perceived a special energy—a sense of flow—that I miss greatly in my everyday (university) life. Overall, I value the course for the opportunity to break out of what is familiar and habitual—not only through its alternative structure compared to typical lectures and seminars, but also through encountering alternative, unfamiliar, or unconventional rhythmic and musical styles.”
“For my psychotherapeutic practice, I am taking away how valuable shared creative work and a sense of flow (through rhythm or other forms of expression) can be for well-being, as they enable people to be present in the moment and to let go, for a while, of constant evaluation and overthinking.”
“Thank you again for this exceptional and inspiring learning experience!”
“The instructor has a very respectful and friendly manner and is highly motivating. Individual needs were always taken into account. Truly a great course!”
“An excellent instructor who is deeply convinced of the subject and committed to the students—not a rigid structure, but a flexible approach that responds to participants.”
“It was truly fantastic. Everything!”
“I was amazed by the dynamics that emerged—that such a narrative can arise from just a few impulses is almost unbelievable!”
“Truly chapeau! I have never experienced a course in which everyone supported one another so strongly!”
“The courses of Maurice de Martin have always been popular with our students and fill up quickly.”
