Brochure 2015 - SEGOVIA

“Musical interpretation involves an individual’s integral development: his emotional, intellectual and cultural attributes, his creativity
and the possibility to vibrate physically.Thanks to music we can grow our imaginative life, we become capable of new ideas, subtle
insights and original solutions.”
Dominique Hoppenot
Our philosophy
It is said that there is no greater joy for a man than doing what he
was born to do. And we are glad to know what is our mission.
Every student that comes to our school is important to us.
With determination and conviction we strive to give our
best to contribute to a happy and conscious development of
self- discovery through music. Embracing a pedagogical
responsibility requires the willingness to open up to others and
to be truly interested in each student, implementing a constantly
refreshed and creative design.
We believe that a student-teacher relationship should always be
based upon cooperation, respect and mutual esteem. We also
consider very important that the personality of a young artist
can easily mature being in contact with several teachers. Multiple
perceptions, different ways of experiencing music, various kinds of
personal approaches, personal life experiences and diverse cultural
backgrounds will enrich the student to a greater extent, not only
as a musician, but as a person.
Our school works on multiple levels: from the first lessons to the
perfection courses. Naturally not all the school’s students will
become professional musicians, but we are convinced that through
music they will grow as better individuals. Young people who
discover the joy of making music, both individually and as a group,
facing the challenge and efforts that entail playing an instrument,
will more easily become valuable human beings, individuals of
great character.
The relationship with the instrument, through an inner journey,
should eventually lead to the expression of oneself, of the music we
feel inside and of what we can communicate.
Therefore we will be happy to assist every young guitarist in his
voyage through music, with renewed enthusiasm and
sincere friendship.
Perfection Courses
The guitar perfection courses held at Pordenone have represented for twenty years a spotlight for guitarists on an
international scale. This is demonstrated by countless prestigious achievements and acknowledgements obtained
by the school’s students throughout the years.
Our didactic principle is founded upon the search for maximal spontaneity within every musical and expressive event.
Therefore, to us technique consists in the ability of knowing how to use the body in its most natural way, free to perform
the appropriate gestures that help the musician fulfill the ideas found in the music score.
To interpret means to feel, to desire, to understand and to realize. A large part of the interpreter’s research is consequently
carried out analyzing all the objective and subjective elements that blend into the creation of sound, therefore making
compositions live, translating sensations and emotions suggested by the notes, liberating music as it is and as it is heard.

”Paolo plays the notes as a series of pearls, clear one after another and now is the extraordinary thing: he has
pearls of all sizes and all shades of color, he puts together in a way that will produce a effect of strong compactness and harmony. Paolo follows his musical ideas without compromise: accelerating, and evaporates the sentence
where it is necessary for reasons of musical logic and not because of technical problems.This is an extraordinary
thing in the guitar world. Paolo Pegoraro is, I can only repeat once more, the discovery of the year!”
