Music is an ART

Art comes from skill

- how? That's what I teach!

 

There is a good reason why music belongs to the Seven Liberal Arts since time immemorial (at least Plato).

These arts are relevant to everyone and remain the basis for a functioning and flourishing social organisation.

Making music means manipulating energies in the form of vibrations, frequencies and sounds in real time, here and now:

The continuous acoustic creation of an almost magical and personal universe for oneself, which can eventually be shared with an audience.

Of course it's also great fun, but it's an extra ...

"Neither prohibitions nor threats, not imposing, but making understandable".

In the last 40 years I have probably taught music to a few thousand people, children and adults.

I take students at the level they are at, beginner or advanced (whatever genre of music they are interested in, classical, blues, rock, jazz or whatever, the instrumental technique is almost the same, and I have played them all) and help them gain control of their instrument. And their music.

 

Priority: "Play first, learn later", which takes away their fear of practising instrumental technique by helping them discover and cultivate their sound on their instrument of choice (guitar, bass, piano) through listening, and making them aware of the importance of regular practice.

I recommend a book to choose from as a method and plan (examples here), guidance in implementation follows.

Feel good, exercise the neurons and physical health, expand the mental horizon. Concentration is very important at the moment of teaching, because if things are understood correctly, they are stored in the subconscious and continue to have an effect even during sleep, eventually reaching the desired goal.

Making music!

 

Even without notes

Notes and music done from eyesight are necessary in our western context,

but only there,

I have been fortunate to play with African, Irish, Scottish, British, American, Polish, Hungarian, Georgian and Mongolian musicians and attended courses with masters in India (Amjad Ali Khan, Keshavram Iengar, Ms Premlata Sharma) where everything is done by ear and repetition.

The development of improvisation allows one to play for the joy of the sounds and requires only what one needs in terms of technique.
