The music school band turned off Koolijazz

On the first evening, the traditional student band competition “Beauty of the Game” took place. The Pärnu Music School was represented at this competition by two collectives: the band of the rhythmic music department under the leadership of teacher Erko Niidu and Camilla & the Band under the leadership of teacher Marge Lumisalu. Besides them, the Tartu youth band Kes On Artur? and the Eller School Rhythmic Music Department Band.

The best band of the competition was awarded for the second consecutive year to the Niidu-led band consisting of Desire Pärn (vocals), Karl Kallastu (piano), Tuuli Põldvee (bass), Martti Tarsalainen (guitar), Rannar Luup (guitar) and Andero Tõniste (drums). The prize consisted of recording time in the sound studio of the Viljandi Academy of Culture. The bassist of the band Põldvee received a special personal award for his excellent and tasteful way of playing the instrument.

The band led by Lumisalu was awarded for the best polyphonic voice.

Masterclasses and workshops were organized in Viljandi by the best musicians in their field: drummer Tõnu Tubli, guitarist Marek Talts, bassist Robert Rebane, singer Maarja Soomre, pianist Themuri Sulamanidze and guitarist Ain Agan. The lecture was given by Juko-Mart Kõlar, director of the Academy of Culture of the University of Tartu.
