All the best.
]]>”Were you teaching an Orff based program? Sounds interesting.”
It was a bit a mixture of Orff and Kodaly. I had read about both and the city wanted to give students who were interested in singing an opportunity to have a larger number of music lessons in week, 4 instead of one.There I was connected because no one else wanted that task and I can often not say no, but I learned a lot during the years 1979 - 1985 and had to practice my piano playing……
It was my try to teach children about music that engages their mind and body through a mixture of singing, dancing, acting and the use of xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels. They made small pieces and some was published in a newspaper. I tried to get music education for the whole person. A music experiential approach. I used Kodály method training with the use of hand signs singing. After 2 years they sang in 2 voices me making hand signs Well, can’t tell all here. But thanks for showing interest.
Best,

I recorded that a while back using several Pianoteq instruments morphed together. If I remember, it was harpsichord/electric piano, morphed again with vibraphone. Yes, Gamelan does use an Indonesian pentatonic scale, not one of the more common varieties, but I've heard some Gamelan music that uses it. It's also found in some Japanese music, but only from a certain region (Okinawa I believe, though that's not the only scale they use). Were you teaching an Orff based program? Sounds interesting.
And thanks again for the kind words. I'm very glad you've enjoyed these pieces.
]]>This time my favorite is Gamelan! It is kind of pentatonic scale and the music could be in a genre of Indonesian origin. In my fantasy your right hand could be played with metallophones ( I used them often when I was a teacher and had 10 year pupils in school, they composed small pieces using them I read about a slendro scale, pentatonic.
Phantom, nice name, the music is like a ghost, a phantom, who haunts lonely roads.
Gavotte and Musette - like a modern Bach, beautiful!
After this little analysis I can just say, your playing looks so easy and elegant, it's enjoyable to look at. I think it’s so good that these pieces are seeing the light of day via your playing here. Thank you!
Best wishes,
Stig
