Last semester I did a project where seven Swedes tried to understand Vietnamese music through rytmik. The project was part of my exam paper at Malmö Academy of Music. You can now watch the visual result on youtube.

Rytmik in Hanoi
I'm not completely sure yet what I will do here. You never know until it has started. What I've told the Academy of Music in Hanoi is this:
I'd like to work with a group of about 12 students at the ages 10-13 from different departments of the academy. I will work with music theory, different genres and composition. We should meet once a week for one and a half hours.
Malmö Academy of Music has also instructed me too meet with five Vietnamese teachers every week. These teachers have been to Sweden and are involved in creating a program for educating music teachers.

Rytmik?
My main subject at Malmö Academy of Music has been rytmik. In English it's called eurhytmics and and you can find this all over the world but it looks very different depending on who's teaching and where that person was educated. Therefore I choose to call it rytmik and I use the method as I've been taught in Malmö and the way I have chosen to practice it.
Rytmik is a method for teaching music where you use your whole body to experience and express music. It also provides a wider perspective on music and teaching by approaching music in many different ways to give the student a broad experience of music. It's a method used for teaching groups and also aims to give the individual good skills for working in groups and a sense of belonging; that every member of the group is important. Rytmik also emphasis the creative process. In the lesson the students compose and improvise alone and with others. The method is not used to teach just one thing. The teacher can use the rytmik way of thinking and apply it on whatever he or she plans to teach. In short it's a holistic method for teaching groups with the key words: experience, express and create.
