Rousseau thought the art of a real musician is not replicating a piece, but in essence, creating their own emotions. Music not only can help us discover our artistic predelictions, develop art sentiment, and improve our overall aesthetic judgments, but also make a difference to the development of self-intelligence and independence. Music helps us learn to pay close attention to our environment.
Maaja Roos has done workshops and master classes to develop the inner voice of both singers and non- musicians. Using creative methods to release the inner child and enhance the innate joy of making music with one's voice and body, her paramount goal in her teaching strategies.
