    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…

    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…

    Preparing a presentation for Tallinn Guitar Festival. In that presentation I will try to show the importance of teaching composition to small kids and adults. Looking back in history, when each player was also a composer, and learning from our predecessors is an access to a lot of joy when playing an instrument.

    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.

    Someone can impress you for a several of times with a perfect technique, virtuosity, drumming, strumming and all other athletic stuff on an instrument. But it’s all is short-lasting. 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,…

    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…

    Already for a several weeks I struggle with one of the parts from one of my suites of chamber music. I like the method of first writing a story, “libretto”, and then composing music to it. Yet at times it doesn’t work. Let’s say a story has romantic calm ending, so I  intend to write…

    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…

    It also applies to a poetry, dance, painting and other fields of art. It’s just because I am a musician, I would like to write here about music. Sometimes I receive an invitation to play in uncommon concert place: a hospital,  for example. Doesn’t sound very happy place, does it? The fact is that people there often feel,…
