Ein Studienjahr ging zu Ende … - Österreich

by Werner Weibert
Am KONSE - am Kärntner Landeskonservatorium - in Klagenfurt gibt es seit 1982 eine vierjährige Ausbil-dungsmöglichkeit zum Volksmusiklehrer mit den Hauptinstrumenten (Steirische Harmonika, Chromati-sches Hackbrett, Zither, Volksharfe) und einem Neben-instrument nach Wahl. Mehr als 150 Student/innen aus Kärnten, den Nachbarbundesländern, Bayern, Allgäu, Slowenien und Südtirol haben in den letzten 30 Jahren dieses Studium absolviert und wirken nunmehr als Lehrer an öffentlichen Musikschulen oder im privaten Unterricht.
In diesem Jahr gibt es mit dem Salzburger Norbert Bacher und dem Kärntner Florian Hinteregger zwei Studienabschlüsse. Beide Studenten haben in den vergangenen Jahren Steirische Harmonika im Hauptfach und Bariton im Nebenfach studiert und außerdem zahlreiche instrumentenspezifische, theoretische und pädagogische Fächer absolviert.
Der erste Teil der Lehrbefähigungsprüfung, das öffentliche Ensembleabschlusskonzert wurde bereits absolviert. Dafür musste jeder Studenten acht Stücke auswählen, für eine passende Besetzung bearbeiten, mit Studienkollegen einstudieren und das Ergebnis bei einem öffentlichen Konzert im eigenen Heimatort präsentieren. Der 2. Teil findet Mitte Juni statt und besteht aus dem Vorspiel auf beiden Instrumenten und einem Lehrauftritt, damit die künstlerische Reife und die pädagogischen Fähigkeiten der künftigen Lehrer entsprechend getestet werden können.
Das Studium ist dermaßen ausgerichtet, dass nicht nur die instrumentale Ausbildung im Vordergrund steht, sondern mit dem Fächerangebot auch ein volkskundliches Grundwissen vermittelt wird. Volksmusiklehrer sind nicht allein Instrumentallehrer, sondern auch regionale Kulturaktivisten, die den ständigen Wandel dieser Kultur berücksichtigen müssen. Daher ist ein wichtiges Unterrichtsfach die Feldforschung, also der persönliche Kontakt zu heutigen Kulturschaffenden, zu Sängern und Musikanten, um dabei Verständnis und Wissen um die traditionelle Kultur zu hinterfragen und so auch die historische Seite der Volkskultur in einem anderen Licht zu sehen.
Dadurch kommt es im-mer wieder vor, dass StudentInnen durch diesen Kontakt mit den Gewährspersonen von sich aus „neugierig“ werden und sich fortan selbständig mit alten Quellen (Handschriften, Tonaufnahmen, Bildern etc.) befassen, um „Altes“ wieder lebendig, also sing- oder spielbar werden zu lassen.
Ein Beispiel dafür ist die soeben im Kärntner Volksliedwerk erschienene Notenpublikation mit Stücken „Aus dem Spielgut vom Görtschitztaler Quartett“, die von der ehemaligen Studentin und Forschungsteilnehme-rin Michaela Warmuth für Steirische Harmonika (Griffschrift) und für Bläser (Trompete, Klarinette) aufge-schrieben wurde. Aber nicht nur die Musik, auch die Ge-
schichte dieser Gruppe wurde ausführlich dokumentiert. Damit ist ein weiterer Mosaikstein zur ländlichen Kultur- und Musikgeschichte Kärntens entstanden.

Stage d'accordeon diatonique chez CNIMA - France

by Diatonic News
Si vous voulez apprendre ou perfectioner votre connaissance sur d'accordeon diatonique - vous pouvez:

Les formations au CNIMA J.Mornet
C'est l'accordéon acoustique, à travers la pédagogie novatrice de son fondateur Jacques Mornet, qui a fait la réputation internationale du CNIMA J.Mornet. Sur cette même base de recherche de la musicalité, d'expression individuelle, y compris corporelle, l'école s'est ouverte depuis quelques années à d'autres disciplines : accordéon numérique Roland, accordéon diatonique, piano/claviers, guitare, chant.
Le CNIMA J.Mornet vous propose durant toute l'année des formations musicales adaptées à tous les objectifs, du plus haut niveau de professionnalisation au simple plaisir.
Selon votre situation, vous pouvez bénéficier d’aides au financement.

Possibilité de venir assister aux cours en tant qu’auditeur libre avant de s’inscrire.

Clic sur le programme qui vous intéresse :
n Etudes à temps complet (calendrier comme année scolaire)
n Vacataire semaines (formation "à la carte" selon vos disponibilités)
n Stagiaire occasionnel (stage(s) durant les vacances scolaires) et
Vacataire vacances (six à douze stages de vacances à tarif réduit).

Deux axes de travail principaux :
•maîtriser les techniques sans jamais négliger la musique
•l'apprentissage de l'instrument permet avant tout de libérer sa personnalité musicale en se débarrassant le plus rapidement possible des entraves techniques.

Pour l'accordéon, notre pédagogie s'appuie à partir de la notion d'équilibre sur 3 points essentiels :
•Emission, contrôle et écoute du son : Compression et maniement du soufflet.
•Variété des articulations et du toucher (hauteur des attaques, pressions diverses des doigts) qui doivent permettre le relief musical (jeu à 3 Dimensions).
•L'importance du jeu corporel ponctuant et aidant l'expression musicale.

Et c'est une fois ces problèmes d'ordre technique résolus que l'instrument devient un véritable outil au service de la musique. Ainsi, le musicien, après ce plus ou moins long travail de fond, n'ayant plus qu'à mettre au service de la musique sa sensibilité, devra alors consacrer son travail à la recherche du « bon goût ».

Guinness World Record Attempt, Castelfidardo - Italy

by Diatonic News
On Sunday July 7th, 4.30pm, in the Piazza della Repubblica, Castelfidardo, an attempt will be made to establish a new record for the most accordions playing together. The organizers need 1,200 accordionists to attend and play ‘Happy Birthday’, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Paolo Soprani founding the accordion industry in the city in 1863.

The organisers invite all accordionists to attend in time for the record attempt, which will begin at 4.30pm precisely. The numbers attending will be flashed up in the square. If attending, car drivers should park at Porta Marina or leave the car behind the walls at Scuole Medie or take the shuttle from the Vecchio Ospedale (Old Hospital).

Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival - USA

by Diatonic News
19-21 July 2013
Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival seeks to preserve, memorialize and document Irish History and Traditions -- from the gentle stirrings of the harp, to the boom and pomp of the pipe bands; from the soft hush of our love songs, to the thunder of Celtic dancers and rock bands. Spurred by the vision of founder John O'Brien Sr., over 300 volunteers mobilize annually to breath life into the festival. We are blessed that the culture we celebrate boasts such a wealth of tradition, music, literature, and art -- all bound together by that rich sense of community which typifies the Irish. Though difficult to adequately encapsulate, following is a brief overview of the festival and its many attractions.

Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival is a non-profit, annual civic event, benefiting local and national charities while highlighting the many aspects of our Irish culture. Attractions include: 24 performers on nine stages, a multitude of exhibits, and myriad kiosks representing some of the finest vendors in the United States.

Artists with ACCORDION: MCLEAN AVENUE, EILEEN IVERS & IMMIGRANT SOUL, GIRSA, CHERISH THE LADIES, THE IRISH DESCENDANTS, PATRICK O'SULLIVAN, GUARANTEED IRISH,

Viljandi Folk Music Festival - Estonia

by Diatonic News
Viljandi Folk Music Festival is held every year on the last weekend of July in Viljandi and it is one of the largest of its kind in the Baltic and Northern countries. The festival is a place where all the best musicians meet and present their contemporary renditions of traditional music.
4 days of traditional music performances on 5 outdoor and 3 indoor stages
200 performers, 100 concerts
more than 20 000 visitors
free green stage performances
workshops
film programme
night university
regi song nest
fairytale rooms
handicraft courtyard
exhibition
county concert

The visitors of Viljandi Folk Music Festival are cheerful and happy people who are considerate towards themselves and their surroundings and are able to fall in love and to concentrate. This is what the spirit of the festival is all about!

All Estonians are used to making a bonfire on Midsummer Eve, dance at weddings, take part in singing festivals, go door to door to sing and wish luck to people on Mardipäev and to spin humming tops on Shrove Tuesday. In addition to all of these, there are countless other personal activities which have become rituals without which we could not imagine life as we know it. But have we ever thought about why we do these things?

A large part of traditional music is strongly connected to the rituals for celebrating different holidays. Introducing the different customs for holding parties across cultures is at the heart of this year's festival. A Balkan wedding orchestra, Indian drums and dances of the Tibetan monks are only a few examples of what the festival has to offer for the guests next year.

During the next festival, wonderful music will be sounding from the speakers and the performers on the stage will show you how to party properly. Different holiday rituals of different cultures and the sounds which go with them will be introduced in greater detail in workshops and lectures. Different party dishes from different cuisines will be prepared in the Food Yard and many more events will take place which have always come part and parcel with folk music festivals.

Sounding Out the Accordion

Renee de la Prade at Priceless Festival, California & Europe tour- USA

by Rob Howard
Renee de la PradeAccordionist Renee de la Prade writes, “The Priceless Festival, July 4th-7th, is held on a campground in the town of Belden on the Feather River, in the hills east of Chico, California. I'm booked to play a noon or 1pm set on July 5th at the Beach Stage with a rockin’ drummer who can groove those funky New Orleans styles with me.

I am going to instruct the sound guy to turn my bass knob up to Mighty since they want us to bring it. I think that you have to buy tickets for the whole festival to come out for this one, however if you enjoy nature, music, and art, this needn't be an impassable roadblock”.

Renee de la Prade, of ‘Accordion Bales’ fame, leaves California in July for the ‘Whiskey & Women Europe’ tour, visiting France, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and Canada. She will not be home until September 16th.

Jackie Daly Button Accordion Master Class & Concert, Dublin – Irish Republic

by Rob Howard
Jackie DalyOn Tuesday July 2nd, 12 until 4pm, 2-row diatonic button accordionist Jackie Daly holds a diatonic accordion master class at the Unitarian Church, 112 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.

At 8pm, Jackie Daly and fiddle player Matt Cranich perform in concert at the same venue.

Jackie Daly, from County Cork, grew up surrounded by traditional music, and eventually became a central figure in some of the most dominant groups playing Irish music in recent times, including De Danann, Patrick Street, Buttons and Bows, Arcady, Reel Union and Kinvara.

He has toured extensively throughout the world, and is also in demand as a teacher. In 2005, he received the TG4 Gradam Ceoil (National Music Award), and, in 2009, the Kanturk Arts Festival Award.
