Music Teacher
I got my degree in music and conduction in 2002 at the ELTE university. I taught at a foundational school for three complete days, but I lost the fight against hyperactive children.
So I gave up my school carreer quite early becase of bleeding from several scars. Since then I've been teaching phonation and mainly piano. The years spent at ELTE taught me that emphasising on Mozart's and Beethoven's works is not the best way to make a child love playing the piano. So at first we note and learn the current favourites of my pupils. Then we can move forward to more serious things.
My teacher's degree came really useful when composing the "Álomszép" (Dreamy music for babies and mothers) disc. The material on the CD is based on the fundamentals of classical music.
They teach the basics of music and make babies and their mothers relax at the same time. I tried to imply easy, yet harmonic solutions when working on the orchestration. Oversaturated, varied music can disturb the calmness of the small ones, even when talking about classical music. That is why the artists heard on the record were instructed to play simple, sometimes drowsy and precise, yet soothingly tuneful melodies. Based on my own experienes, and the opinions of the professionals taking part in testing, it is advisable to start listening to the record during pregnancy.
