🪗Ethno Finland 2024 mentor introduction🪗

Maimu Jõgeda, an Estonian accordionist, is illuminating the world with her unique and reflective style of playing. With roots from the southern part of Estonia, she has always harbored a deep interest in folk music. One day, these traditional influences ignited her "own tradition," leading her to compose original music. By now, she has released two solo albums and is working on her third. After graduating from the Nordic Master in Folk Music program, Maimu continues to live in the Nordics where she teaches folk music and accordion, plays for dance, and collaborates with different bands, such as Alterne!

Ethno has played a significant role in Maimu's musical journey, starting with Ethno Estonia in 2014 and continuing with Ethno Estonia in 2015, including participation in Ethno Estonia on the Road. Maimu attended Ethnofonik in France in 2016, where she learned the art of being a mentor. Transitioning from participant to contributor, she volunteered at Ethno Estonia in 2017 and joined Ethno Sweden. Later the same year, she participated in Ethno Sweden on the Road. In 2021 she participated in a special hybrid ethno: Ethno Chile. Her mentorship debut was at Ethno Estonia in 2018. Since then, she has been a mentor at the autumn edition of Ethno Sweden in 2021, Ethno Palestine in 2022, and Ethno Flanders in 2023.

Have you ever thought that you would like to know more
✨about composition or music theory?
❄ about folk music from the Nordics and Estonia?
✨How to play the piano, the piano accordion or 2-row accordion?

Well, here is your chance! 😍

Today I had a yet another wonderful lesson with my student in Helsinki and I realized how much I love it! I have been teaching (at Saue Music school; private students) and mentoring (Ethnos all around the world; folk music camps in Estonia) before and I knew I loved it, but I started to think: how come I get to do so little of it? 🤔 Turns out that I have not really advertised that I give lessons!

So yes, come and get inspired! The piano accordion is a beautiful instrument! Its accessibility and the potential for quick progress, especially among adult learners, set it apart as an instrument that can truly captivate individuals seeking to embark on a musical journey. 🪗✨☺️

I teach in English, eesti keeles, suomeksi. I live in Helsinki (Finland), therefore lessons here are possible starting from NOW! During spring 2024 I will travel weekly between Tallinn & Helsinki, so it is also possible to take lessons there! Let's not forget the possibility to take lessons WHEREVER in the world: online! 🥰

Your new teacher
Maimu 🪗✨

EST:
Kas oled kunagi mõelnud, et tahaksid rohkem teada

✨ kompositsioonist või muusikateooriast?
❄ Põhjamaade või Eesti pärimusmuusikast?
✨ Või oled alati soovinud õppida akordionit, klaverit või hoopis diatoonilist kaherealist akordionit?

Nüüd on sul see võimalus! 😍

Täna mul oli järjekordne imeline tund ühe akordioniõpilasega Helsingis ja see pani mind mõtlema, kui väga ma armastan õpetada! Olen ka varem õpetanud (Saue Muusikakoolis ja andnud eratunde nii Eestis kui Soomes) ja juhendanud (Ethnodes üle kogu maailma, Tartu Pillilaagris, Võrumaa rahvamuusika laagris) ning olnud mentor erinevates suvelaagrites. Nüüdseks on mul magistrikraad Põhjamaade pärimusmuusikas ning lisaks tegin läbi pedagoogika koolituse. ❄ Olen paberitega õpetaja! 😍 Hakkasin mõtlema: miks küll pole mul rohkem võimalust õpetada? 🤔 Selgub, et ma pole reklaaminud, et annan tunde!

Seega, tule ja saa inspireeritud! ✨ Annan algajatele klaveri- ja kaherealise akordionitunde. Akordionitunde annan kõikidele tasemetele! Ja muide, akordion on tõeliselt vahva pill! Saad kiirelt mängima hakata, sest alustamine on lihtne ja pill võimaldab kiiret edasiminekut, eriti täiskasvanutele. Äkki Sul kodus nurgas leidub mõni akordion, mis ootab, et sellele õhk sisse puhutaks! 😉

Õpetan inglise, eesti ja soome keeles. Elan Helsingis ehk kui elad siin, saame tundidega alustada juba HOMME!

Kevadel 2024 liigun iganädalaselt Tallinna ja Helsingi vahet, seega tunnid on võimalikud ka seal!

Ära unusta, et tunde on võimalust võtta olles ÜKSKÕIK KUS MAAILMA NURGAS: veebi teel! 🥰

Kirjuta mulle e-kiri või võta minuga ühendust Facebookis!

Life after graduation 💕✨ eestikeelne versioon all👇

It's surprisingly difficult to leave the school bubble. I don't know if you can relate. I thought I was ready, as my family, friends, and acquaintances have been challenging me with their questions about my plans after graduation since I was 16 and decided to pursue a career in music.

"It will be hard," they said. They were not wrong! 😅

I worked at a bookstore to save enough money to buy my first accordion (a second-hand, Universal brand). Later, after saving money (working at a café as a barista), selling my beloved first accordion, and taking out a loan, I managed to buy my current accordion, an Excelsior (a fierce Italian!) ✨🪗It was my dream to own that specific accordion! I studied classical music, jazz music, and Estonian and Nordic folk music. What the hell was I thinking, huh? 😀 Why didn't I study something else and secure myself a steady job?

But I have done a lot. I have achieved a lot (and it’s not easy to say that, for some reason)🥹❤️I have released two solo albums; graduated from the University of the Arts Helsinki: Sibelius Academy as a Master of Music; I have been commissioned to compose pieces for solo accordion and accordion orchestra by the Estonian Accordion Society (Eesti Akordioniliit); I have a new commission from Harju County (Estonia) for their Song and Dance festival to write a piece for an accordion orchestra; commissions to compose music for animations by Terje Henk (check out her and our work at https://jutupaunik.ee); I have been nominated at the Estonian Folk Music Awards (Etnokulp); I have composed and arranged music for the Estonian Song and Dance festival (Pillipidu ja Tantsupidu 2023). I work as an accordionist accompanying folk dancers in Finland; give private lessons (in accordion and composition); work as a freelancer (giving concerts, leading dance workshops, mentoring at Ethnos); playing in quite a few bands (MIR Trio, Alterne, HOSTIKKA); probably forgetting some of the things I do..!? 🤣

AND, of course, I am open to new challenges! 🙌 If you are looking for someone to perform at your event; if you want to learn the accordion, composition, Nordic or Estonian folk music; want to know how I released my albums; ... anything, just contact me! Looking for more gigs, teaching opportunities, who-knows-what..! 🥹🥰

Thank you for your support so far, and I hope to find my path as a freelancer and a musician in this intimidating world! ❤✨

📷 Noor Kristina took this gorgeous photos! We used to work together as baristas ☕

EST:

Koolimullist lahkumine ja päris elus muusikuna hakkamasaamine on üllatavalt keeruline 🤔 Mõtlesin, et olen valmis! Mu pere, sõbrad ja tuttavad on mind alates 16. eluaastast, mil otsustasin karjääri muusikas jätkata, pommitanud küsimustega, et mis ma siis pärast lõpetamist tegema hakkan?

"See saab raske olema," ütlesid nad .. ja ei eksinud! 😁

Töötasin raamatupoes, et koguda piisavalt raha oma esimese akordioni (kasutatud Universali) ostmiseks. Hiljem, raha säästes (kohvikus baristana töötades panin raha kõrvale), oma esimese armsa akordioni maha müües ja laenu võttes, õnnestus mul osta oma praegune akordion, suurepärane Itaalia pill: Excelsior. 😍✨ Oli mu unistus omada just seda konkreetset akordionit! Üle 20 aasta olen õppinud klassikalist muusikat, džässmuusikat ja Eesti ning Põhjamaade pärimusmuusikat. Mida ma küll mõtlesin, eks? 🤣🤣 Oleks võinud midagi asjalikku õppida ja nüüd kindlal töökohal olla!

Noooh, aga eks ma olen midagi ikka saavutanud ka. ✨❤️ Olen välja andnud kaks sooloalbumit; lõpetanud Sibeliuse Akadeemia magistrikraadiga; mul on esitatud tellimusi sooloakordioni ja akordioniorkestri jaoks Eesti Akordioniliidult; uus tellimus tuli Harju maakonnalt kohalikule laulu- ja tantsupeole akordioniorkestri teose jaoks; olen komponeerinud muusikat animatsioonidele Terje Henkilt (vaadake tema ja meie tööd aadressil https://jutupaunik.ee); mind on nomineeritud Etnokulp gaalal; olen loonud ja seadnud muusikat Eesti laulu- ja tantsupeoks (Pillipidu ja Tantsupidu 2023); mängin mitmetes rahvusvahelistes koosseisudes (MIR Trio, Alterne, HOSTIKKA), kellega esinemisi tuleb ette üle maailma; olen olnud mentor Eesti, Rootsi, Palestiina, Flandria Ethnodes. Töötan akordionistina rahvatantsijate saatjana Soomes; annan eratunde (akordioni ja kompositsiooni); tegutsen vabakutselisena: annan soolokontserte, tantsutöötubasid, olen mentor Ethnodes...

ning olen valmis uuteks väljakutseteks! Otsid esinejat oma üritusele?Akordioniõpetajat? Soovid nõu plaadi väljaandmise kohta? Kompostitsioonitunde? Õppida Põhjamaade pärimust? Võta minuga ühendust!

Tänan teid senise toe ja kaasaelamise eest ❤️✨ Loodan jätkata oma teed muusiku, helilooja ja õpetajana selles hirmuäratavas maailmas! 🥹🥰
