ET Esitlus Tallinna Kitarrifestivali raames on tehtud! Selles ettekandes püüdsin näidata, kui oluline on kompositsiooni õpetamine nii väikestele lastele kui ka täiskasvanutele. Tuletasime meelde aegu kui iga mängija oli ka helilooja. Võiksime õppida meie eelkäijatelt ja tekkitada juurdepääsu rõõmu juurde pillimängus. EN Did a presentation at Tallinn Guitar Festival. In that presentation I tried […]

As well as after-party in a restaurant: eating a soup and Roberto watching me with a smile while playing nice Argentinian music just in the front! Whoa! Once-in-a-life-time […]
read morePreparing a presentation for Tallinn Guitar Festival. In that presentation I will try to show the importance of teaching composition to small kids and adults.

That it would have something, that one can think of and discuss, as well as 3. Purely for aesthetical pleasure while listening to it (relaxing, […]
read moreThe idea of the first experience proved itself working well. Most of the beginners, who came in my guitar class in September 2016, these days ask me regularly “when can we do our own piece?
