12) Gitameit Music Institute

Music School in Yangon/Myanmar. 
The Gitameit Music Center does an impressive work in the middle of Yangon.

It is very close to real life, promotes the young talents, some even find a place to live in the housings of the center for some time. 

 And it connects the Burmese eager young people with both Burmese professional musicians as well as international artists. Some artists repeatedly take a period of time, travel to Myanmar and teach at Gitameit. It is a wonderful team!

This is a taste of the workshop week we did at Gitameit Music Center.
Christoph Hillmann is explaining 2 against 3. A rhythmical parameter classical Burmese music does not use. He has an indeed funny method and is using the German word "Pfannekuchenteig" to connect words with the right accents for the 2 against 3 beats. ;-)

Who came to Burma first in 2004 to learn about Burmese music as an music-ethnologist. In 2010 she was working for the Goethe Institute Yangon, organized and created collaborations between Burmese musicians and European musicians. That is how Tim Isfort and Jan Klare first met Thaung Htike .  And that was also how Daphne and Thaung Htike met. Daphne is a very important linking role. She speaks Burmese, she knows the people and their music and she can translate during the process of rehearsing.  Wich is quite important, otherwise sometimes there is no understanding in words and alas no chance to work at musical details. Tim Isfort (former festival manager of "Traumzeit" Duisburg, recently f...
