For a long time we music students had followed the what the conservatories and music schools were programmed to teach with also individual studies we followed other great musicians. Before everything I should say I teach music to my students with 4 main subjects: Harmony, rhythm, melody and articulation. I put 3 main subjects under the "harmony":...
When it comes to music creation it's a very long story starts from zero of the humanity and comes at this point my century. And it's a strange feeling that since music is all over the place in the World it's hard to make people listen few times any complex harmonic structure to make them richer in Life because...
It's a very long story how everything began. And when I looked back from the point I'm standing now it's hard to say everything happened in once and I'm grateful for everybody to show me and helped me to reached what I have nowadays.
Around my age 17 I was writing compositions for my homeland city conservatory. The compositions are contemporary, classical and there were also etudes. During this time I also met many other great composers such as Bartok. The inner beauty of human needs Schoenberg (I think) because it's such a master piece that writing a novel with math as I could...
If you are composer or an improviser which they were also improvisers such as Bach, Chopin or Beethoven then you will face to beauty of strings as well. And I when first start writing/composing (I started when I was 17) your first works would be plain and pure. Saying this, shouldn't make anybody feel bad about it. There would...
Essentials of those books are coming from 1600 to today and my goal is to make it to future. As we all know many music writers/critics said the tonal music was finished and then atonal and the contemporary era came. But I believe and what I show is that there are still many great possibilities in the tonal music and...
When it comes to the art in general there are tons of things we can discuss and find the meaning behind them but most importantly why art is such an important thing in Life.
When I think about Debussy and his contribution to the World is something I can't ignore and his dreamy (yet fantastic) chordal movements and arpeggios are something I have been using since I focused on the "living ones" which I live with them inside me. I'm not saying I'm copying them but getting the model of what they had done...
In the beginning of this writing, I would definitely love everybody to know that I respect all mothers and I'm sure each one of them did the best for their kids.
My purpose is to create the best music (as I could imagine), but still listenable. That's why when it comes to the harmony as I play the piano or compose (and I also compose when I play the piano), I often use the way of my inner-self and the hearings that opens up the new section in each melodic or...
I'm sad to not to be able to play with him in this Life. A great musician with both jazz and classical perspectives he was doing his best for the good music. When I look at the new generation artist I don't actually find the determination as Chick used to have for the music. Specially his "Matrix" album has lots...
It's one of the huge controversies since the beginning of the music. To be able to talk about "being a great musician" we need to understand the science behind it. Yes, we all musicians are actually scientists. We develop ways, check the past ways, make it as a performance, record it and make it in a way that will carry...
The word itself "discipline" is scary at first, right? Because we change, everything is changing everyday. One day you are full of new ideas, another day you are not sure about your technique or you are bored about your technique or the technique you have is not enough for your new ideas. You go back to the fundamentals, you make...
