Hello, my dear Chehkov-participants,
I’m so glad that I shared this experience with you, and now it’s the time to look back and it would be a big, big help if you fill this form out for me! These are not so many questions I guess it will be done in max 10 min. 
I know not everyone participated in every workshop or knows each of the three techniques. But try to answer the questionnaire with your honest first impression, and if its a negative answer it is also ok!
If you struggle to remember things regarding the technique that we did, please ask me or check out my blog, this can be a good help to review the workshops and duo sessions, but of course, you can do it also just from your own memory.
Thank you very much! It was such a great joy to work with all of you on this method.
I miss you and hope we see each other soon, happy and healthy in Maastricht!
Greetings from Berlin
Yours
Sebastian

SU01 I’m still using the exercises or ideas of the technique
please cross one option:
Yes I’m using exercises either from gesture, atmosphere, imaginary tool in my work
I’m using the method ideas my own way
Perhaps I’m using it but subconsciously
I would love to do it more, but I don’t know how
I don’t know
This technique is too complicated for me to using it
It’s not that important for me.
I’m not using the technique.
CO01 Through the concentration on the gesture, atmosphere or imaginary tool
I could get my message/lyrics better to the point, I had a better awareness of my body, I recognize that my ideas and imagination were stimulated, I felt I could express more deeply, My body was more relaxed and my sound getting better, I could avoid stressful thoughts, My preciseness for rhythmical ideas was different, I could be more in the moment, I recognized new textures and sounds I never used before, I got a different feeling for phrasing

CU01 A method like the Chekhov-Method should have a regular place in the curriculum of a professional school of music
| strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree |
NO01 I am in need of …
only one answer
self-confidence, more body-awareness, focus, concentration while playing/singing, uniqueness for my expression, courage, greater imagination, better communication, nothing
