Play and repeat??! Piano improvisation days

in cooperation with the Mainz University of Music

"... the ear does not like to be satisfied with what it has already suspected in advance, but wants to be deceived all the time". (Joachim Quantz, 1752)

Improvising on jazz standards, folk songs and pop songs is one of the most important skills for music teachers today. But improvisation is also playing an increasingly important role in instrumental teaching.

This course is designed for those who want to start improvising and for those who want to deepen their knowledge of piano improvisation.

The variation and renewal of well-known musical patterns of all kinds will therefore be the focus of the course work. There are no limits to imagination and templates (e.g. pictures, text and tone series).

Lessons during the course will be in an open format (for course participants only), allowing for mutual observation for further input and inspiration.

This course is recognised by the Pädagogisches Landesinstitut Rheinland-Pfalz under Az. MA.2437 as serving official interests.
