Pedagogy plays an important role in my artistic development at this point of my life. I remember as Anthony Braxton saying many times to us, that he is a “professional student”. I totally understand what does this mean if someone is teaching. Sharing ideas with others, offering new potential ideas and let them explore together within a community, finding the best definitions to given problems, and let someone else understand this, these are all parts of the teaching activity.
I am teaching the following classes in the present academic semester (in parenthesis the other subjects and schools what/where I used to teach regularly):
At the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna:
Jazz-theory and Arrangement, Doctorate supervision in artistic research, Mediacomposition - as assistant in the class of Prof. Judit Varga), Jazzharmony - as substitute teacher for Gerald Schuller for a semester.
