    Today was the last concert of this schoolyear for my young Composers-Performers. Almost an hour lasting concert was versatile and interesting: solo pieces as well as duos. Now last working week left and vacation can begin! 🙂 Writing your own music is cool, interesting and fun.

The real power of a piece is in a melody. A melody, that is singable, swinging and expressive. If you are able to write such a…

    I would like my music to serve at least three purposes: 1. To be educational (that it would contain information about a distant places and cultures; connected to history) 2. 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,…

    … a DIALOG. It opens many opportunities how to compose a piece as well as puts certain game rules. In case of a two instrument composition it is very beautiful when one instrument “asks” and other “answers”, one “proposes” and other “rejects” or “accepts”.

    The 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?

    ET Nootide tundmine on tähtis! Nii nootide kui ka erinevate tabulatuuride tundmine on tähtis. See on sama kui mida rohkem keeli valdad – seda kasulikum.  See annab liigipääsu informatsiooni juurde. Ja informatsioon on jõud. RU Знать ноты – это важно! Знание нот как и знание разных табулатур важно. Это как знание языков: чем больше знаешь,…

    I had a chance to study with very good musicians. One of them was my orchestration teacher. He taught me to pay more attention to instrumentation and orchestration. Through him I again discovered the art of Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (couple of year ago I visited his home – now a museum, – in Saint-Petersburg, sensed a…
