 Video by Egyptian singer/accordionist Youssra El Hawari from her 2 years studying at the CNIMA from 2015 - 2017Youssra El Hawari is a young singer/accordionist from Cairo, Egypt who gained tremendous overnight popularity during the Arab spring in 2011. Since then, her witty songs that bridge Arabic music to Western music, have kept her prominent in the Egypt music scene. From 2015 to 2017, she studied full time at the CNIMA (International Accordion School), to improve her skills on the accordion. The video above was shot and edited by her, and gives a fun taste of her experience at the school. It includes short excerpts of accordion classes (including a master class by well known French Gypsy jazz accordionist Ludovic Beier) as well as music theory classes. It also shows impromptu live music moments including a performance by CNIMA Director, teacher, and world champion accordionist, Nathalie Boucheix. The full year program at the CNIMA is catered for want-to-be professionals, in-the-making international virtuosos as well as students from all levels and ages. The 20 hours a week program, is divided between individual accordion classes (2 to 3 per week) and group classes in harmony, music theory, accordion technique, chamber music etc Jacques Mornet's teaching approach uses the accordion as a wind instrument: the right use of the air column and key touch, enables students to reach musicality and technical ease. This approach proved itself through time, with 104 first international prizes in accordion competitions around the globe. The school prepares students to achieve French national music conservatory diplomas (Certificat d'Etudes Musicales - CEM end Diplome d'Etudes Musicales - DEM), enabling them, through the intense studying, to accomplish in one year, what they would usually do in 4 years. The full year program will open on September 21st, 2020. For further details email: cnima@orange.fr |
