Philosophy
Kohutek is something between school, community and platform. We founded it for the purpose of education, instruction and openness in the field of music. We are a vaguely bound group of professional musicians connected with the Brno "Jazz" scene and with the dance school Swing Wings.
Our goals:
- We want to raise awareness of the genres we love.
- We want to get people to play actively, to start bands and to start to compose.
- We want to inspire to listen to music.
- We don't want to be surrounded by a culture for which Dbmaj7#11/C is just an unnecessarily complicated wifi-password
Lessons
Učíme skupinově i jednotlivě. Skupinové předměty probíhají ve vlnách, které mají přibližně 6-9 týdnů.
Private lessons
Private lessons can be arranged with each lecturer, regular ones as well as "now-and-then" ones. These classes are suitable for everyone!
Cena standardně 600,- za lekci. (60 minut)
Depending on subject or agreement with teacher it can be slightly more sometimes.
Bands
Bands are at the heart of our teaching. However, they are not suitable for complete beginners. Before playing in a band, it is advised to have some theoretical and practical foundations at hand. (In normal times...) the purpose of each wave is to rehearse repertoire for a performance that takes place in the end of the wave. The specific focus of the bands changes with each wave and or teacher. In general, we teach this:
- pop
- jazz
- blues
- soul
- funk
- czech folk music (pop or traditional)
- rock
We also have a choir!
We also coach existing bands.

Classrooms
Máme tři vybavené třídy – Kurník, Šopa a Holubník. K dispozici jsou pianino nebo křídlo v každé třídě, bicí souprava, kytarové a baskytarové komba, klávesy, ozvučení, mikrofony a kabely, menší perkuse.
Pokud nemáte svůj nástroj, tak vám pro potřeby lekcí můžeme půjčit baskytaru, cajon, nějakou tu flétnu nebo dokonce i ukulele.
FAQ
- Do I need to bring my own equipment? (instrument / microphone / amp)
Mikrofony a aparáty určitě nosit nemusíš! Ani větší nástroje jako klavír, klávesy a bicí nosit nemusíš! Pokud je tvůj nástroj mobilní, tak si radši dones svůj, ale pokud třeba nevlastníš baskytaru, cajon, ukulele tak ti na lekci něco půjčíme. - Do I have to able to read notes?
You don't have to. It's just one way to write music. There's no reason to necessarily do it exactly like that.
You definitely can learn reading notes with us, but our teaching is not based on them. If knowledge of reading notes in a subject is required, we will inform you about it in the description.
When teaching theory and communicating in bands, we work mainly with the names of tones and chords. Not with notes as a graphic notation. - I would like to play a favorite song of mine with the band, is it possible?
Yes. We try to make bands defined by genre, because each genre requires a different set up. But we are happy to accommodate you with specific songs.
