#6 ART TALK with Jacques Moreau, French concert pianist and professor of music

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. This
is a deep conversation I had with Jacques Moreau, French concert
pianist and professor of music based in Lyon, France on Tuesday,
12 April 2022.


Jacques graduated from the Paris Conservatoire. Aside from piano
concerts, he taught and held management positions within the
network of French music schools since 1982. In 2002, he became
Deputy-Director of the Music Department at the Lyon Conservatoire
and Head of Cefedem Rhône-Alpes in Lyon, an institution that
trains music teachers in innovative, student-driven, and
project-based ways. During the academic year 2014-2015, Jacques
was appointed by the Belgium Quality Agency for Higher Education
to chair a committee in charge of assessing the four musical
higher education institutions of Belgium (French part). Among
other things, he’s also Academic Advisor to the Princess Galyani
Vadana Institute of Music in Bangkok, Thailand.


In this episode, we talk in depth about the essence of
music and the secret to being a musician, the importance of
artistic expression, the role of the performer on stage and of a
holistic, student-driven musical education, and we draw striking
parallels to the visual arts and the art-making process.
