CNIMA USA Teaching Tour, maggio e giugno 2022 – USAby Christine Johnstone |
 Video: Video promozionale della Scuola di fisarmonica CNIMALa CNIMA (Centre National et International de Musique et d'Accordéon) è una scuola di fisarmonica francese fondata dal famoso insegnante di fisarmonica Jacques Mornet e dalla pluripremiata fisarmonicista Nathalie Boucheix (nella foto a sinistra), che condurrà un CNIMA Teaching Tour negli Stati Uniti la prossima primavera 2022. Il tour comprenderà masterclass, workshop e dimostrazioni ed è aperto a tutte le età, tutti i livelli, tutti gli stili ed è adatto per fisarmoniche a piano e a bottoni. Date del tour come segue: • 25 maggio dalle 14 alle 17: Masterclass di fisarmonica presso South Oxford Place (BK) a New York City • Dal 30 maggio alle 14 al 3 giugno alle 12:30: Workshop di quattro giorni sulla fisarmonica presso l'Alliance Française di New Orleans • 5 giugno dalle 14 alle 17: Masterclass di fisarmonica presso il Petosa Accordion Shop di Seattle • 9 giugno alle ore 19: dimostrazione di fisarmonica presso l'Alliance Française di Los Angeles Jacques Mornet ha insegnato in tutto il mondo ed è il destinatario del Premio Gus Viseur e del Disco d'Argento dell'Accademia Russa Gnessin e nel 2003 è stato insignito del CIA Merit Award. La tecnica di Mornet sta nell'avvicinarsi alla fisarmonica come strumento a fiato piuttosto che come strumento a tastiera. L'uso corretto del mantice combinato al tocco appropriato dei tasti crea risultati eccezionali che trasformano il proprio modo di suonare e liberano la musicalità. Gli studenti CNIMA hanno goduto di numerosi successi, tra cui l'aver vinto un record di 126 premi in concorsi internazionali. La scuola ha formato diverse generazioni di fisarmonicisti francesi tra cui Alain Musichini, Domi Emorine, Félicien Brut, Vincent LHermet e Christine Rossi per citarne alcuni.
