World Accordion Day Live Web Master Class – Lithuaniaby |
 |
| On May 4, Frédéric Deschamps was invited by Raimondas Sviackevicius, President of the "youth" section of the National Association of Lithuanian accordionists and Director at the Accordion Conservatory of Vilnius for a unique Master Class, via the Internet. At 1:30 pm, students in the class of accordion questioned Frédéric Deschamps about various aspects of pedagogy as it has developed in recent years, the mode of operation with many foreign students, international events that he regularly attends, and also about the various possibilities for development of the instrument's repertoire, its place in the world of music and professional openings available with our instrument in the near future. The talented Martynas Levickas opened the Master Class session. Martynas also intervened at the end of his Master Class with a series of very pertinent questions about the adaptation of teaching techniques of Frédéric Deschamps for the piano accordion and the latter's interest in chamber music, a large and very interesting subject which should be developed as one of the major ways for the future of our instrument. Frédéric Deschamps as a teacher and also President of the Confédération Mondiale de l'Accordéon (CMA) sincerely hopes that this discipline is an integral part of the Trophée Mondial in the near future. Morkunas Romas, also a student of Raimondas Sviackevicius, interpreted the Divertimento by Kusiakov, followed by another young student, Paulauskas Simaunas interpreting music of André Astier. These are extremely interesting initiatives using skype/web technology to have an international master class and also permit debate between two countries with such different cultures. Such communications shows the immense future possibilities that modern communications can bring, via this new teaching tool, for the future advancement of accordion teaching. Petar Maric, a student Frederic Deschamps, performed the world premiere of the new work, "Haiti" by Franck Angelis, to add another exciting dimension to this international sharing of knowledge and music. Other meetings, master classes and concerts will be organized by Raimondas Sviackevicius during 2010 as well as live concerts via the Internet. The aim is to decentralize, having such activities in small towns so that information is not exclusively reserved for university students in the capital, further enhancing the sharing of knowledge through modern communications. |
