Musicosophia-Schule

Allgemeine Informationen

By means of repeated listening the Musicosophia-method progresses in the natural human musical talent: singing and humming, discerning the various moods, the observing of forms, parts and structures, and the recognizing of the intrinsic refinement. On the basis of the preceding listening experiences gestures are developed (“melorhythmie”), which aim at the melodies and structures of a piece of music.

The steps to learn to understand the music:
- becoming aware of the first impressions
- singing and humming along
- asking questions to the music
- discerning moods
- discovering the musical architecture of a piece of music
- understanding the relationship of the musical architecture
- expressing the melodies and structures by means of gestures (called “melorhythmie”)
- musical meditation

The courses are based on selected masterpieces of the Gregorian music, via Bach, Mozart, Beethoven to the modern music.

The Musicosophia-school was founded in 1979 by the Romanian music scholar Dr. George Balan. As professor for music aesthetics he lectured at the conservatory in Bucharest for more than 20 years. During scores of years he developed a listening method, which he called Musicosophia. His numerous books have been translated in many languages
