Percussionread more

Derived from the Latin word ‚percussio’ it means tremor. Basically it describes the striking together of two bodies, especially when noise is produced. The word percussion can be applied in three different areas of expertice: Medicine, gunnery and music. Used in a medical context it is a method of diagnosis in which various areas of the body, especially the chest, back, and abdomen, are tapped to determine by resonance the condition of internal organs. Military speaking it is the act of detonating a percussion cap in a firearm. In music the term is used for the sound, vibration, or shock caused by two objects beating together. Even though these three different meanings come from three separate professional backgrounds … the musical percussionist might use them all in order to produce the appropriate effect for the situation at hand.

Of course there is a long traditon of percussion instruments both in classical as well as in folclore music. Nonetheless the real unfoldment of the percussionists area started to happen with jazz, rock and pop as well as contemporary music of the 20th century. To describe all its possibilities and implications one would have to write a book. To keep it shorter one can state that the percussionist plays all instruments which are not encompassed by the other instrumental sections (wind and string). Usually an instrumentalist learns one or two instruments professionally, some even more if you view per example the clarinettes and the saxophones or the huge range of recorders. A percussionist however has to learn hundreds of instruments each with its right and explicit way of producing sound or some other effect.

I see the area of percussion music as a never ending journey through the world of sound, vibration and effect. As a percussionist I use my imagination to always find new ways of impact on the human musical perception. The direction I personally choose to go the ‚path of the body’ and its movements in connection with theatrical and compositional sound.

Among the interdisciplinary art forms, the new music theater occupies a special place. New music theater brings not only a wide range of genres together, it also links and fuses them. This means that the performers must be specialists in several subjects at the same time. The virtuosity extends into the width as opposed to the art forms of the 20. century, where the virtuosity went into the depths.

Dalcroze Rhythmicsread more

The term “Rhythmik” or “rhythmic-musical education” developed by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) and his original coined term “rhythmic gymnastics” or „La Rythmique“ or “Rhythmik”.

His approach is the rediscovery of the interrelationship of physical and musical Rhythm, which he used as the basis of its educational and artistic Labor.
Jaques-Dalcroze pursued the goal of uniting, music and movement. He wanted to express the integration of spirit, soul and body, or of the conscious and unconscious in humans.

The real education after Jaques-Dalcroze method is now as then taught by certified “Rhythmikern”. They teach the relationship of music-motion-language and its rhythm in social and artistic areas of Pedagogy. Her extensive work consists of the teachings of the rhythmic movement, the solfege (ear training) and improvisation.
