I was at that pivotal point in a young plug into a system. Atar has a way of finding musical career where each step is seemingly what works for a particular student; to discover magnified and fraught with consequence. what type of teaching each student responds best As I somewhat timidly began a new to. He taught me how to give a master class, relationship with my new professor, I did not stressing that teaching a class is not simply know (though I hoped) that in time, this would teaching a lesson in front of an audience.

Held every three years, the competition was established in 1997. In keeping with Mrs. Johansen’s wishes, the competition encourages younger musicians with significant prize awards at a time when they need it most – when they must make decisions about continuing with their dedication to music, or perhaps moving away from it as they look to college and other interests. Recalling a New York City gold medal she won when she was just 17 years old, Mrs. Johansen credited that experience with helping her decide to make music her life-long effort. By establishing the Johansen International Competition (JIC), she hoped to pass that encouragement on to new generations of string players. Mrs. Johansen expressed these sentiments during an interview about her decision to fund the competition and put it under the guidance of the FMMC Foundation.
