Founded
in 2003, the European Music Academy (EMA) aims to enhance
the young artists’ musical knowledge and performance
skills, while stimulating their creativity.
With
the support of the local authorities, EMA organises in
Corbigny,
nice little town in France -
an annual international training seminar, open to musicians
of all levels. The seminar runs each year during the second
half of July and features teachers and professional musicians
of outstanding international reputation.
Since
its inception, first at Le Lude, in France, and then at
Sinaia, over 300 young musicians from different countries,
such as Belgium, France, Netherlands, United States, China
and Ireland, have already benefited from this seminar.
The
activities scheduled for 2019, will pursue the pedagogical
aims of the EMA on three main aspects:
• Individual
classes
will
enable a personalised development of the young musicians’
technical and interpretative abilities, each player advancing
at its own pace.
• Assisting
in the preparation of the concerts performed by the teachers
is
another important aspect of the seminar, helping students
discover various aspects of a professional musician’s
life.
• At
the end of the seminar
trainees
will also be called upon to perform in public.
The concerts, held at prestigious venues, will offer the
young musicians the opportunity to finalise their work and
showcase their accomplishments.
In
addition, participating in an international seminar, with
students and tutors of different countries and backgrounds,
constitutes the perfect opportunity to experience various
methods of teaching and learning music, as well as a
pleasant way of meeting and interacting with fellow musicians
from the international network.
