    This week came two new wonderful exercises to train writing in a form of a song. Several students have already tried them out and saw that it is not necessary to spend many years to learn how to write beautiful and interesting music.

    Yesterday’s concert in Kuusalu – “Creating music” – was another proof that audience like to participate actively in a concert. The last “audience” piece came out different compared to the previous one, cause there were some older students in the audience, who used their knowledge and invention very skillfully to complete the task. So, me…

The last piece was composed directly at end of the concert by the audience (kids, parents, students – all who came) and performed by Estonian guitarist Vahur Kubja and me. It sounded nice! The piece is all written down, well preserved and now…

    ET Nüüdseks on 16 õpilast, kes on osalemas selles uues ja põnevas programmis. Nad õpivad ja teevad oma teoseid pärimusmuusika vaimus, pop laule (mõned neist kasutavad oma luuletusi), kaasaegseid teoseid soolokitarrile ja improviseerivad. Minu õpetamiskogemuse ajal (üle 15 aastat) ei ole ma näinud õpilasi nii huvitatud kitarrimängust ja komponeerimisest nagu nüüd – kui nad saavad…

    One of the interesting features of being a composer-performer (playing your own works) is that you can always change and vary, add and remove something from your works – play them differently without being afraid of criticism. Actually, these days it seems to me pretty ridiculous of writing something down, creating really precise notes and…

The program itself is a relatively new direction in most of the modern educational establishments all around the world and it is now for the…
