So it is the motto of the music educator to incorporate new styles of music as well as the current charts into the lessons in addition to the standard literature. “Whether at the age of six or at the age of 80 – it is important to adapt the individuality, the pace and the choice of literature to the student. The focus must be on the student. Everyone can learn an instrument at any time, even if they can’t read notes or the time is limited to practicing “, Hummel is convinced. It is only important to awaken the passion – and he understands this excellently, also as a brass band conductor and conductor of several music associations.
Composing, writing and arranging is another mainstay of the all-round talent. He has registered 12,000 pieces with Gema (“I almost always write and compose”), so it is no wonder that Gottfried Hummel founded his own music publisher – “Edition Hummel Ton” – last year. Even after this short period of time, the current catalog shows over 100 compositions: “The goal was to be able to compose even more flexibly, because the fun of writing music always takes precedence over market-specific tendencies for me.”
Gottfried Hummel, 52 years old, is a musical all-round talent: musician, trainer, music producer and now also a music publisher, connected to his home country and father of two children. Despite his success, Gottfried Hummel is not resting, on the contrary: He is a “workaholist” when it comes to music, with well over 1200 music productions. As a music teacher, he has developed a concept that enables people of all ages and levels of difficulty to make music together in an accordion orchestra.
