Welcome to Music Island!
We are Katrin and Pit, professional musicians and teachers living between Hvar and Vienna. For more information ->click here
Our Music Island Workshop Series was born out of the conviction that music and nature have profound positive effects on our well being.
"In my classes, I constantly see how music and physical engagement help people to let go of their thoughts and open up. Singing connects emotions, body and mind in a unique way - similar to meditation or yoga. It can be healing and liberating.”
Pit Banzhaf
Making music is more than just singing or playing the right notes. It’s a creative and joyful experience with yourself or a collective. It gets us to practice body awareness, breath control and mindfulness in a playful way.
"When we explore our voice with all our senses, we can release blockages, relax deeply and bring ourselves joy. This is something that no one should be deprived of."
Katrin Spiegel
Nature and music share this rudimentary quality. Both are rooted deep in our DNA. They have the power to really effect our wellbeing. No matter if you’re singing, hiking, banging with a stick on wood or just lying in a field watching the clouds pass by – it can ease anxiousness, empty your mind or just simply make you happy.
Several Studies show that Nature Connectedness is likely to promote personal growth and wellbeing.

COMBINING MUSIC WITH NATURE
We bring our expertise as professional musicians and teachers to the slow pace beautiful Island of Hvar. It’s the perfect place.

From classes to simply enjoy yourself like
SUNSET SINGING
to more technical classes like SINGING and SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS,
from deeper explorations of yourself in RECAP & UNWIND or SOUND MEDITATION
to mindful trips in nature with
SOUND WALK.
Write to us and give it a try! We’re looking forward to meeting you!

The Locations
We carefully picked beautiful public spots around the island that fulfill the needs of our workshops. The meeting points are accessible. But with a few minutes walk you’ll reach a more secluded area that feels more private. It was important to us to be close to the sea and next to the gorgeous smelling pine trees. Which workshop takes place at which spot is to be found in the Workshop description
We’re also currently working on our own workshop site. Its a beautiful garden in the UNESCO protected Ager plain. But until it can be the base for our Workshops and Retreats a lot of work needs to be done. So we’re looking forward to present it to you in 2026!
