  • “Composer-Performer” course feedback!

    (In English and Russian below)   ET Tuli tagasiside minu kursuse “Helilooja-Interpreet” osalejatelt Tallinnas. See oli küsimustik, kus osalejad said hinnata erinevaid kursuse külgi (skaalas 1 – 5. Kus 1 tähendas “ei nõustu” ja 5 “täiesti nõus”), Samuti anda mõni nõu, mida võiks parandada. Muuseas oli küsimusi, näiteks: “Informatsioon pakkutud sellel üritusel on oluline sinule”,…

  • Composer-Performer. Just did it.

    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…

  • What a day!

    In the morning did a PRESENTATION about my Composer-Performer program within the framework of Tallinn Guitar Festival. In the evening breathtaking GUITAR CONCERT of legendary Roberto Aussel. 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…

  • Young Composers-Performers in concert

    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 first experience

    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? Please! Please!” 🙂 According to my program, a student, coming to a first lesson with me, is creating right away…

  • Small composers-performers. 2nd concert

    ET Eelmisel nädalal mu väiksed heliloojad-esinejad õpilased mängisid oma teise kontserdi. Jällegi soe vastuvõt publiku poolt. Vanemad väga õnnelikud! Mõtlen käivitada oma kontserdisarja. RU На прошлой неделе мои маленькие композиторы-исполнители сыграли свой второй концерт. Опять тепло принимается зрителями. Родители очень счастливы! Думаю о запуске нашей собственной серии концертов. EN Last week my little composers-performers students…

  • An Instant Piece

    I was always impressed how someone can come on stage and create an instant piece of music. “The Köln Concert” called is an album by pianist Keith Jarrett, when he was touring Europe playing improvised concerts. That’s a good example, I think. Also, now and then I hear “classical” guitarists doing something close to that…

  • Two of my students got special prizes

    EN A few weeks ago, two of my students have gone to try their skills in a composition contest. They got special prizes. ET Paar nädalat tagasi kaks minu õpilastest on läinud oma jõude proovima kompositsiooni konkursil. Said eripreemiaid. RU Пару недель назад, двое из моих учеников пошли попробовать свои силы в конкурсе композиции. Получили…

  • The honor to be…

    Today I was given the honor to be one of the juries of the Composition Concert/Competition, during which students of the Old Town College ( where I currently teach guitar and composition) will play their own music. So next Tuesday hope to vote for as much first prizes as possible! 🙂

  • 9 years ago…

    …I finished the Georg Ots Music School, which had significant impact on my life. Today was the first day there as a teacher of my program “Composer-Performer”. Day before I was nervous, wondering how it will go, polishing the text of my first speech to the students and preparing first exercise for them revising and…
