Elena Gantchikova’s method “Aesthetical education and personal growth in music”

Elena Gantchikova’s method “Aesthetical education and personal growth in music” is the result of fifteen years of experience teaching, solo and chamber music piano performance, and composition.
Elena Gantchikova taught over a thousand of students in Russia, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. Since she moved to France she has been training musicians not only from France but also from Belgium, Canada, China, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, United Kindom, United States and other countries.
She has over 30 concert programs spanning the whole history of piano music from Baroque, Classicism and Romanism to the contemporary music of the twenty and twenty first centuries. As a composer, Elena Gantchikova has authored over a hundred of music pieces for instrumental and electro acoustic music. She is fluent in the academic technique of music writing (as a result of her study in Moscow Conservatory), contemporary techniques (she was a student of Gérard Grisey at Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Paris and of Tristan Murail and Brian Ferneyhough at IRCAM) and new technologies (IRCAM, IMEB and a one year training program at the Technical University in Berlin).
She holds a PhD from EHESS (Paris) and conducted the scientific research at the foundation of Paul Sacher in Basel (Switzerland).

La méthode d’Elena Gantchikova « L’éducation esthétique et le développement personnel dans la musique » est le résultat des quinze années d’expérience dans trois directions : l’enseignement, la carrière de pianiste soliste et en musique de chambre, la composition. Elena Gantchikova a vécu en Russie, en Suisse, en Allemagne et en Espagne et formé plus de mille musiciens au travers de cours de piano, de la composition musicale et de stages intensifs.
Depuis qu’elle s’est installée en France, non seulement les musiciens français bénéficient de ses conseils, mais également ceux de Corée du Sud, de Chine, des Etats-Unis, du Canada, de Belgique, d’Angleterre, d’Israël, de Norvège, de Hollande et bien d’autres pays.
Elle dispose de 30 programmes de concert couvrant ainsi toute l’histoire du piano en commençant par la musique baroque, la musique classique et romantique jusqu’à la musique contemporaine.
En tant que compositeur, Elena Gantchikova a écrit plus d’une centaine d’œuvres de musique instrumentale et électroacoustique. Elle maîtrise parfaitement la technique académique de l’écriture musicale (suite à son enseignement au Conservatoire Supérieur d’Etat Tchaikovski de Moscou), les techniques contemporaines (suite aux études chez Gérard Grisey au Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Paris et à l’IRCAM, chez Tristan Murail et Brian Ferneyhough), les nouvelles technologies (suite aux études à l’IRCAM, IMEB et au stage d’un an à l’Université Technologique de Berlin).
Elle a également effectué des recherches pendant sa formation doctorale à l’EHESS de Paris et au sein de la fondation de Paul Sacher à Bâle (Suisse).

Notes
