Creativity from Day One: An Interview with Siliana Chiliachka

Infinite Improvisation Podcast: adventures in music and creativity with Steve Treseler and Lauren Best. Founder of Siliana's Piano Studio, Bulgarian-American pianist Siliana Chiliachka is reimagining music lessons for young children, teaching technique, composition, and improvisation through Music Learning Theory. In our conversation, we discuss that children are naturally musical and creative, but there is a lack of creativity in early music instruction—and what we can do to change that. We also discuss the principles of Edwin Gordon's Music Learning Theory, how to promote life-long music-making, and the distinction between learning about music vs. understanding music. Siliana Chiliachka is a dedicated music educator who has performed and taught piano throughout North America, Canada, and Europe. She debuted as a soloist with the Vratsa Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria when she was 10 years old. She is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada and holds bachelor's and master's degrees in music. She has received training from renowned artists such as Jerome Lowenthal, Charles Asche, Yuval Yaron, Anne Epperson, and Peter Yazbeck. She is a recipient of numerous scholarships including the UCSB Music Affiliates Quarterly Performance Award, the SB Music club, and an awardee of several competitions and festivals in Bulgaria, Canada, and the U.S. Learn more about Music Moves group classes with Siliana for 4-7 year olds https://www.instagram.com/silianastudio/ https://www.facebook.com/siliana.chiliachka Get updates and exclusive community content by signing up for our email newsletter at: www.infiniteimprovisation.com/podcast Subscribe to our YouTube channel Theme Song: “Cold Hammered” by Steve Treseler

School Rock Bands and Creative Musicking: an Interview with Steve Giddings

Infinite Improvisation Podcast: adventures in music and creativity with Steve Treseler and Lauren Best. Canadian music educator and author Steve Giddings joins us to talk about sparking creativity in high school music programs on Prince Edward Island. He reveals what it was like to stretch from being a classically trained orchestral player to jamming in blues bars and playing in a ska brass section, and what ignited him to self-publish his first practical guide to teaching rock bands in schools. Steve’s work to innovate and inspire “creative musicking” in the classroom has most recently resulted in his newest book from Oxford University Press “Technology for Unleashing Creativity: Practical Tips and Tools for Music Educators”. He shares some spicy thoughts and why they get pushback, and explains why he wants to electrify music education and create change for more fun and functional learning. https://www.stevesmusicroom.com/@StevesMusicRoom facebook.com/stevesmusicroominstagram.com/stevesmusicroomtwitter.com/stevesmusicroom Get updates and exclusive community content by signing up for our email newsletter at: www.infiniteimprovisation.com/podcast Subscribe to our YouTube channel Theme Song: “Cold Hammered” by Steve Treseler
