Education

Education is everything

    To educate is to help listen to what is going on around us, to learn to recognise the sounds and silences of life, to try to interpret the sounds of music and understand how it affects our soul and our emotions. 

    To educate is to show children that music is a magnificent refuge, where our feelings have the right to express themselves freely.  But how do we create sound? Why does music move us?  

     

    My 3 age-appropriate shows for children.

    1. "The three little pigs"

    for children aged 3 to 8 years

     

    Who doesn't know the story of the 3 little pigs, made famous by the famous

     famous cartoon by Walt Disney (1933)?

    My version combines music and words in a playful way, allowing children to discover musical instruments and give free rein to their imagination and daydreams.

    Instruments: violin, accordion & recorder

    Duration: approx. 30 minutes

    2. "The old woodcutter"

    for children aged 6 to 12 years

     
     A fairy tale by Mousse Boulanger,
    freely adapted and set to music
    by Gàbor.
     The sounds of the forest and his
    mysteries are the true protagonists of
    that musical show.

    instruments: violin, accordion 6 percussion.

    Duration. 35 -40 minutes

    3. "Janko the bean!" (string quartet)

    for children aged 5 to 12 years

     

    Come and discover the story of Janko, a little boy no bigger than a bean, whose courage and mischief lead him into great adventures. This Hungarian folk tale for string quartet and narrator will plunge children right into the heart of the story.

     

    Original music: Gàbor Barta (2015)

    Instruments: 2 violins, viola, cello & narration

    Duration: 45 minutes

    Telling young people about Mozart...

     

    Mozart!.. A genius or a clown?

    An education project based on life and work of a great genius in the history of art. A programme illustrating Mozart's life using anecdotes and original musical exerpts,  interspersed with discussions and a debate with the young people on music today and the purpose of art.

    Learning to play together in a way other than at the Conservatoire, with friends and... without teachers: a major challenge! 

    Born 10 years ago as a children's circus orchestra, today this group of teenagers has learned to arrange its own songs and manage itself independently. The styles of music vary: from jazz to pop to Latino, from video games to film music. Changing roles and instruments as well as their own compositions are part of the artistic DNA of their programmes, and it's a great pleasure for me, after so many years of teaching, to give them a few more impulses. Ideas, on the other hand, now flow spontaneously.

    Médiation

    Music for everyone

    A long partnership with Les Concerts du Cœur Vaudois, with the aim of bringing music to places where the need for solidarity is greatest. 

    Special concerts, but also creation-events with marginalised publics and people in social difficulty. 

    Sharing a traditional song from a faraway land with people in migrant situations: these are moments of great emotional impact for people who have sometimes lost everything.
