<\/span>Rainer Maria RILKE Letters to a Young Poet<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
today it calls perhaps more than ever on our adaptability and our capacity for resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n
time is running out. In online teaching, here are some observations and reflections around time.<\/span><\/p>\n
worked on in individual lessons – which we take the time to record at the end of the lesson. They give themselves the chance to<\/span>
assimilate musical concepts in a time that is theirs and that responds to their learning pace. This rhythm is different for each of them.<\/span><\/p>\n
In improvisation, we approach for example a new harmonic sequence with a certain quality of listening, but soon we analyze,<\/span>
memorize, locate it on the keyboard, transpose it and adapt it to a Eurhythmic exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n
TO DO, as many times as they need, by receiving, welcoming, living this musical event with availability and inner freedom.<\/span>
This time of listening generates incredible progress.<\/span><\/p>\n
she takes the time to assimilate the bodily gestures and the coordination required by stepping a rhythm while conducting.<\/span><\/p>\n
of living her movements in full awareness, relaxed, in a real sensation of globality.<\/span><\/p>\n
is very important, it is reassuring to note that we can individually develop certain elements such as mastering a regular tempo,<\/span>
motor coordination, creativity in body movement or others.This time of listening and repetition at home is a great discovery<\/span>
for many confined students.<\/span><\/p>\n
of music and opens doors of their creative impulse.<\/span><\/p>\n
This phenomenon is of the same importance in learning music.<\/span><\/p>\n
that lacks sun and water. Everything is there, within us. I mean that we all have a wealth of sensitivity that is revealed by a<\/span>
stimulating context, inspiring relationships, the time we give ourselves and self-confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n
confidence in my creativity, stimulating me by bringing me a rich and colorful cultural and musical background, with
deep affection.<\/span>
Among them, Lily Merminod, a wonderful musician and pianist who, because she was too nervous to perform on stage,
chose to offer concert-conferences to children – and their parents – on the theme of a composer, or a music era.
She spoke with elegance and humor, shared all kinds of stories about little Mozart, about Schubert and his friends,
or about baroque music. She presented us slides of engravings and paintings illustrating the architecture of the time,
scenes from everyday life, portraits. She spoke to us about clothing, customs, dances and made the composers live as if
she had known them. While we were dreaming in front of these images, she slipped discreetly towards the piano and
interpreted pieces by the composer she was talking about with a rare sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n
She had an immense culture which she shared with such a simplicity, and her imagination awakened ours. She was different,
original, she had found her soil. The time shared with her left a deep mark on me. Everything that emerged from her told me
that she was taking time to live, that she had given herself the time to dig her own groove, to find her language; she was in no hurry.<\/span><\/p>\n
If you have time, I suggest that you listen to melodies you like, sing and sing them until your musical memory is secure, and go
play them on your instrument. Decipher all the scores that come to hand : professional student, teacher or amateur, whatever,
a music bath does always good.<\/span><\/p>\n
