Podcasts about timani

Presented by Juliette Caton. Edited by Sam Benoiton. Tina is the author of "Unleashing the potential of the musician's body" and the creator of the movement system Timani, which develops a deep understanding of the body to support technique and performance for musicians. In 2013 she founded the Musicians' Health and Movement Institute (MHMI) where she runs a 3-year part-time certification program for professional musicians, training them to become Timani teachers and how to implement the knowledge in their own playing. Since 2007 she has taught Timani to thousands of musicians from all over the world, everything from orchestras, chamber music groups, students and soloists. Tina has taught Timani workshops at amongst other Juilliard in New York, Yong Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore, The Music Academy in Basel, Royal College of Music in London, The Royal Danish Music Academy in Copenhagen and for orchestras such as Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Swedish Opera Orchestra. Her background in anatomy and movement comes from her studies as a Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, Kinetic Control Movement Therapist, twice a certified yoga teacher and through Kinaesthesia for pianists from the University of Arts in Berlin. Tina has presented at many performing arts medicine conferences and symposiums, amongst other at PAMA in Hollywood, ISPS in Melbourne and MHPC in Helsinki. As a pianist, she holds a MA from the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and has performed solo and duet recitals in Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, England, USA, Moscow, Italy, New York, and Philadelphia amongst other. She has released four critically acclaimed CDs and has received several grants and awards, including the two-year Norwegian artists' working grant from the Norwegian Arts Council, Jansons Fund, RWE-Dea, and the Norwegian Fund for Performing Artists.

My friend Paul Kirby is a musical polymath: a tenor of excellence who performs throughout the world as both a soloist and as a valued member in small vocal ensembles; he is also a killer banjo player and bluegrass singer, and a member of the Norwegian group Stemmespesialisten that combines voice lessons, voice massage and coaching. In addition he has worked as a musical administrator and is a Timani teacher in training: an education that focuses on in-depth anatomical knowledge in order to enhance movement and playing for musicians. He has also been a valued and trusted friend of mine for the past twenty years, and was a major encouragement and support when I was putting Countemelody on its feet. For his favorite episode of the podcast, Paul has chosen the Fourth of July episode I posted in 2021. In this episode I bring you a gorgeous conglomeration of great baritones and bass-baritones performing songs by the emblematic American composer Charles Ives. In this episode we hear thirty of his songs which display a wide range of compositional, musical, and literary styles. Some of the greatest Ives interpreters are represented here, including Thomas Stewart, Samuel Ramey, Donald Gramm, Sanford Sylvan, Kurt Ollmann, Gerald Finley, William Sharp, and William Parker, accompanied by Alan Mandel, Dalton Baldwin, Alan Feinberg, Warren Jones, Steven Blier, Craig Rutenberg, and others. I finish the program with Jerry Hadley performing that most celebratory of Ives's songs, “The Circus Band.” Since this episode was first posted I have gone on to produce full episodes on Donald Gramm, William Parker, and Jerry Hadley. Thanks, Paul, for your support, encouragement, and wonderful introduction to this episode that also does not shy away from the question of Ives's alleged homophobia, but remains focused on the composer himself as well as the array of wonderful performers who celebrate Ives's fascinating combination of old-fashioned Americana and revolutionary compositional techniques. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

'If I had had the career that I initially wanted, I wouldn't be singing now because I would have left so much of the real me behind' Paul Kirby is a classically trained tenor who lives and works in Oslo. He performs both as a classical singer as a soloist and in ensembles and as a banjo player and (bluegrass) singer in several bands. He is part of the Norwegian company 'Stemmespesialisten' that combines voice lessons, voice massage and coaching. He also is a Timani teacher in training: an education that focuses on in-depth anatomical knowledge in order to enhance movement and playing for musicians. Growing up in Illinois (US), his musical roots lie in the genre of music now known as “Americana.” From there he moved to the city of Boston, and eventually France, Belgium and finally, Norway. He combines all of his experiences in his current profession, which is to help singers connect to their authentic voices, as well as performing regularly as a singer on stage.

'Ik volg eigenlijk in al mijn beslissingen altijd heel erg mijn gevoel, dat brengt je op veel mooie plekken kan ik je vertellen' Carlijn van Wijk, artiestennaam 'Carly E.', heeft haar eigen genre gecreëerd; een smeltkroes van stijlen en invloeden die ze heeft gedoopt met de verzamelnaam 'Cellopop'. Ze zingt haar eigen composities en begeleidt zichzelf daarbij op cello, een instrument dat ze sinds haar 5de bespeelt. Ze speelde o.a. bij het Jeugd Orkest Nederland en gaf na een studie bestuurskunde aan de UvA gehoor aan haar verlangen om haar muzikale grenzen (letterlijk) te verleggen. Ze ging in Londen wonen en ontdekte daar het improviseren op haar cello, spelend en zingend op diverse jamsessies en daarna emigreerde ze naar Buenos Aires, waar ze haar eigen identiteit als performer ontdekte. In de podcast komen de volgende onderwerpen langs: - De muzikale achtergrond van Carlijn en door welke artiesten en stijlen ze beïnvloedt is - Hoe ze van improviseren naar componeren ging en uiteindelijk cello en zang ging combineren - De uitdaging om jezelf te begeleiden op een instrument dat geen akkoordinstrument maar een solo instrument is - Hoe het was om eerst in Londen en vervolgens in Buenos Aires te gaan wonen - Waar de inspiratie voor het reizen vandaan kwam - Spelen op straat en in de metro in Buenos Aires - Het creëren van een 'eigen cello orkest' met een loop station - Het ontstaan van de Argentijnse tango door massale emigratie van Italiaanse havenarbeiders naar Argentinië - De invloed van wereldmuziek in Carlijns eigen composities - Terug naar Nederland met 100 ep's in de koffer - Spelen en performen bij TedEx - Schrijfproces: werken vanuit melodie - Diverse projecten: solo, band, kleinkunst, neo klassieke composities - Jezelf blijven uitdagen en ontwikkelen, Complete Vocal Technique en Timani - 'Zorg er voor dat je als zanger plezier hebt in wat je doet en dat je niet aan een soort einddoel of prestatie hangt, je kunt alleen maar beter worden en vooral als je er zelf van geniet' Meer informatie over Carlijn vind je op haar website: https://carly-e.com/ Haar ep 'You and me' is hier te beluisteren: https://open.spotify.com/album/4tBJue4uLIcZgS9lrSmvQY?si=yiWSmzRHTG6Y2Ydwdhq0ug Op instagram kun je haar hier vinden: @carly_e_andhercello

'The body is one of the greatest tools that we have to sing or play better' * Deze aflevering is Engelstalig Tina Margareta Nilssen is the founder of the Musicians' Health and Movement Institute , the author of 'Unleasihing the potential of the musician's body' and the creator of the movement system Timani, which develops a deep understanding of the body to support musical technique and performance. She runs a 3-year part-time certification program for professional musicians, to become certified Timani teachers. Tina's background in anatomy and movement comes from her studies as a massage therapist, personal trainer, kinetic control movement therapist, twice a certified yoga teacher and kinesthetics for pianists. She has taught workshops in places like Juilliard in New York, Colburn in Los Angeles, Royal college of music in London and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. As a pianist, she holds a MA form the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and has released four critically acclaimed CD's. In this episode we talk about: - Tina's musical background - The origin of the movement system Timani - That you can develop as a musician at any age if you know what to change in the body, it's a myth that bodies only get more stagnant when getting older - How Tina found out about anatomy when studying in Berlin for her master's degree and the impact that it made for her - That when she started using muscles consciously it didn't only make the music better but also made her feel more safe - That nerves can be related to how we use our body, so by using our body differently we can diminish nerves (maybe not completely, but still a lot) - What it means to change the coördination in the body; to start using the muscles that are meant to be used over time or for repetitive movements so that the compensatory muscles that tend to tense up too much or create unwanted tension can start releasing - Tension in the throat when singing high notes is a compensatory pattern: the tension in the throat can either be a compensation for a lack of tension somewhere else in the body, or be a sign of a reversed breathing pattern - How it's possible that in one place you learn to move out your belly when breathing in and in another place you learn to expand around the ribcage - An important (and funny) discovery that Tina did when she was taking a yoga class - That belly breathing is important for relaxation and that it can bring the downregulation of the nervous system that we need, but we should use this when relaxing and not when we're singing - How it's possible that by doing exercises for the feet, our singing can improve so much - What you can do when you're going up on stage to sing or speak in public, and you feel that the breathing gets high and tensed up - That when a muscle is tense, it tends to not activate in the most efficiënt way - That if we increase proprioception (the awareness of our body in space and time) it makes it easier for the brain to tell the body what to do more efficiëntly - When we try to maintain a good posture while the muscles on the inside are pulling us down, or the diaphragm is pushing down, we are going to fight ourselves - Why 'hanging forward in the hips' will make it difficult to feel the breathing all the way down to our feet - What a Timani lesson looks like - How emotions and feeling the music, expressing it, is related to Timani - That the goal of Timani is always to make it easier to express music - The importance of knowing where the lungs are And more!

Gjest i dagens episode av ‘Syngedama?' er Julie Enger Børresen, aka LULI. Julie var tidligere trommis i Stavanger-rockebandet Frk. Fryd, og hun lager nå fengende, melodiøs indiepop med innholdsrike tekster på Stavanger-dialekt. I 2016 ble hun Ukas Urørt på NRK P3 med låten «Lukka øynene», og har siden den tid vært å se på festivalscener rundt om i landet; bl.a Slottsfjellfestivalen, Gladmat og Fjellparksfestivalen. Hun er nå aktuell med sitt første soloalbum, «Bare et menneske». I episoden snakker hun om musikkproduksjonstudiet på LIMPI, tiden som trommis i Frk. Fryd og hvordan teknikken Timani har hjulpet henne på jobb. I «Syngedama?» får du bli med bak sceneteppet og møte musikere som skaper auditiv kunst ved hjelp av sine stemmebånd. Hege Bjerk vil vite hvordan arbeidshverdagen til sine kollegaer ser ut, hva slags bakgrunn de har, hvorfor de synger, hvilke rutiner de har før en opptreden, hva de drømmer om, hvilke tanker de har rundt tituleringen «syngedame» - og mye annet gøy!!

Christine Clancy had a myriad of interests that didn't seem to go together: a flutist who got her bachelor's degree in neuroscience, she is the first American to be certified in Timani - where it all made sense. In this episode, we go deep, uncovering how much isn't your fault as a musician when it comes to the learning process (especially how it relates to the body and phsyical learning) as well as some pedagogical techniques and changing language to learn that tension isn't all bad. If you've been looking for that bridge between anatomy, nerdy science, pedagogy and music, this is it!

In this very personal episode, centering around Safiya's life-story, she explains how her abusive childhood of "virtual slavery" was nonetheless in extremely religious circumstances. She brought this with her when her grandmother died and she moved to a contemporary Jewish community. She began to follow the Timani Minhag, which is most likely that of her paternal line who lived in the Russian Empire and migrated to the United States. Being a Timani practitioner won her few friends, and she experienced discrimination in the Jewish community, but a manic episode/religious delusion (one in a line of several) compelled her to seek Islam, where she was welcomed with open arms. But she didn't stay....

Tina Margareta Nilssen is a pianist and educator based in Oslo, Norway. Through her unique system of movement and body awareness education, Timani, Tina has helped thousands of musicians access their potential and play with greater physical ease and musical depth. In this conversation we talk about Tina's background as a reluctant body nerd, the basic principles of Timani, the unexpected ways that improved body understanding can affect a musician's life and playing, the difference between mental effort and physical effort, and so much more. To learn more about Tina and her work, visit: https://www.timani.no/en/ Show notes including links mentioned in this episode live over at: www.musicmindandmovement.com/podcast-1/ For more about Karen Bulmer and her work, visit www.musicmindandmovement.com/ or connect on Facebook or Instagram @musicmindandmovement.

In this episode I am talking to Jay Crossland, who is the Academic director of the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in Palestine. She has arranged Timani courses for the employees, and made changes in the grading system for children and youths. Jay plays and teaches the French horn, but she has explored multiple instruments on her path to becoming a musician. She also talks about how physically demanding playing an instrument can be, and the necessity for learning the basics of playing a brass instrument, how to make a sound, breathing and warm-ups. Different physical challenges also got Jay interested in what role the body plays in playing music, and as a student in London she discovered new possibilities through Alexander technique. When she later encountered Timani and the possibility to study this part time beside her job, she applied for he certification course, and is now teaching breathing and the physical prerequisites for horn playing with much more confidence. Jay is a true inspiration for musicians who wish to decide for themselves the different things that one can put together into a career, and to you who wish to follow your ideas of what music you want to make!

Miriam Hlavaty is a composer, pianist, Timani teacher and a listening expert. She went through her studies at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo with chronic tendinitis, yet a deep wish to express music. Now at the age of 40, her journey has left her with tons of wisdom that I would have loved to hear as a student myself. She is now an expert of the body and playing music. She writes a blog, gives workshops and lectures to help musicians all around the world to change their physical coordination to prepare them for playing music in a healthy way.

Vibeke Breian is a great musician and associate professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, Norway. Through the last 30 years she has taught a good portion of the young Norwegian Saxophone players, and performed all over the country, both with chamber music and as a soloist. She talks to us about the experiences from teaching, her own education at Conservatoire Nationale Supérieur de Musique in Paris and how it was to play under Mariss Jansons in the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra.  Vibeke is also a Timani teacher, and tells us what she thinks about her passion about caring for the body as a musician.

Pianist and creator of Timani for musicians, Tina Margareta Nilssen is interviewed by the amazing cellist Johannes Martens about what Timani really is. They cover subjects such as why musicians should work on their bodies, what coordination really is, the importance of correct tension and much more.

About this itemProduct DescriptionThis new book takes a literary approach in its study of Sayyid Qutb, one of the most significant political thinkers for contemporary Islamists and who has greatly influenced the likes of Osama Bin Laden. Executed by the Egyptian state in 1966, his books continue to be read and his theory of jahiliyya ‘ignorance' is still of prime importance for radical Islamic groups.Through an examination of his thoughts and theories, the book explores the main concepts that are used by today's radical fundamentalist movements, tracing the intellectual origins, as well as the conceptual and methodological thinking of radical Islamist movements in the modern world. The book sheds light on Islamic radicalism and its origins by presenting new analysis on the intellectual legacy of one of the most important thinkers of the modern Islamic revival. This is an invaluable new book for our time.Review"Sayed Khatab should be commended for having taken up the responsibility of introducing Sayyid Qutb and his theory of Jahiliyyah, through this book, to the English-speaking world… The book is worth reading to know and understand a prominent ideologue of Islamic socio-political and the evolution of his thought process. The book highlights the need for an objective critique of Qutb's ideas, its conformity or otherwise with the basic philosophy of Islam, its applicability to the modern world and its implications." – Ather Zaidi, Islamic Studies, Vol: 4, Winter 2010"I highly recommend this well-researched book to scholars and student of Islamic studies and political islam. I agree with the author that to date there has been no in-depth study of this important concept. Thus, this work is a welcome contribution to the field" - Hussam S. Timani, Newport University, International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2008About the AuthorDr Sayed Khatab is a professor in the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University. His research interests focus on the politics in the Middle East, and Islamic political thought and movements in the modern world. Among his publications: 'Arabism and Islamism in Sayyid Qutb's Thought on Nationalism1, The Muslim World, 94, 2 (2004), 217-244
