#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Anna Sokolova, associate professor at the Moscow state Tchaikovsky conservatory, and Dmitry Murin, associate professor at the Gnessin Russian academy of music, held master classes for students at the Norilsk, Talnah, and Kayerkan schools of arts, the Norilsk children’s music school, and students at the Norilsk college of arts.
For two days, the capital’s teachers worked with each student individually. The children played their musical pieces to the masters, after which they received the necessary recommendations.
“Children do not always understand what they want: they perform mechanically, because it is an etude or something else… But the meaning is important. Today we paid attention to music, first of all, so that they understood that these are emotions, feelings, character, and ‘unclenched’. The clamp physically prevents a person from expressing what he wants”, said violinist Anna Sokolova.
Dmitry Murin added that they also worked with the guitarists on the technique, artistic and semantic side of the work:
“Of course, we touched on the musical works style topic: we considered the full range of different tasks that every musician, including a beginner, should set for themselves. I liked that the children reacted very vividly, approached the master classes with great interest. It is obvious how interested they are, even despite the fact that the summer holidays have just ended. I hope that these master classes will be useful for them”.
We will add that earlier two college students passed the first selection for the All-Russian Yury Bashmet’s youth symphony orchestra. In the first round of the national selection, which took place in various cities of Russia, including Norilsk, 869 young (from 10 to 22 years old) musicians took part. Students of children’s music schools, children’s art schools, college and university students were invited to participate in the competition.
Students of the Orchestral Wind and Percussion Instruments department of the NCA Yaroslav Goncharov and Vladislav Gvozdikov successfully passed the first round.
This Is Taimyr has already reported that the NCA and the music school received previously unpublished musical notebooks of the composer Yakov Rassin.
