1. Thank you for reading<\/strong>
I\u2019m always happy when someone tells me they read my \u201c8 things.\u201d
In recent months, I\u2019ve received responses from Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky, Pre\u0161ov, Levice, and Bratislava. I write this newsletter for anyone who loves music and education \u2013 and still finds time for good books. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. We’re preparing a new website, InMusic<\/strong> \u2013 with documents on contemporary music, interviews with composers, video podcasts, sheet music, books, analyses of works, and quality recordings suitable for teaching.
Everything under one roof \u2013 for teachers, students, musicians, and music lovers.
We would be grateful for your support \u2013 whether financial or by sharing the DONIO campaign:
Support the new InMusic website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. What is good, and how do we lead young people to it?<\/strong>
Goodness seems to be disappearing from life. People are more focused on themselves and less willing to help others. Character education is therefore an important part of the ongoing curriculum reform. We talked with Ivan Je\u017e\u00edk<\/a> about how to support the development of personality and moral values in young people in schools and how to prepare future teachers for such a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4. I\u2019m always happy when I come across a good methodology.<\/strong>
The book \u201cZasko\u010den\u00fd pr\u00edbehom\u201d<\/a><\/em> (C.S. Lewis, M. Marku\u0161) contains excellent questions for individual readers or discussion groups. These questions help reflect on the themes C.S. Lewis explores in his books, as well as on the searches and challenges of our personal lives. The book also offers a way to engage with groups of students at high school or university. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5. Currently, we have <\/strong>3 courses on innovative education open<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 for singing, piano, and wind instrument teachers. We\u2019d be glad if you joined us in Rev\u00faca or if you know a teacher who\u2019d like to experience new approaches to teaching \u2013 feel free to forward the course details to them. Besides the course, they\u2019ll also enjoy the beautiful countryside and the marmot habitat, which I still haven\u2019t managed to photograph! :-))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. I warmly invite you to two concerts \u2013 Two Faces of French Music.<\/strong>
On June 14 at 7:00 PM, at the Slovak Radio<\/a>, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Boro\u0161 and I will perform 3 Pieces in the Shape of a Pear<\/em> by Erik Satie. The program will also include works by Slovak contemporary composers who directly respond to Satie’s poetics \u2013 each from a different perspective. The concert\u2019s dramaturgy is an invitation to a conversation between the past and the present.
On June 18 at 6:00 PM<\/a>, in the beautiful Albrecht House, a more intimate version of the French program will be presented. Together with soprano Helga Varga Bach, we\u2019ll perform songs and piano works by Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and \u0160tefan N\u00e9meth-\u0160amor\u00ednsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7. Music, Friendship, and Dramaturgical Decisions<\/strong> \u2013 in the ArsMusice<\/em> show on Radio Dev\u00edn<\/a> with Tom\u00e1\u0161 Boro\u0161, we take you behind the scenes of our concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

8. Video Greeting<\/strong>
Peter Zagar \u2013 Intermezzo<\/em>. Peter\u2019s music will also be featured in our concert on June 14 at 7:00 PM at the Slovak Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading my \u201c8 things\u201d and I wish you a wonderful week.
Ivan<\/strong>
