Ichonautics

A Musical Philosophy and
Compositional/Improvisational Method

By Dorian Wallace

Picture
Ichonautics is a musical philosophy and compositional/improvisational method designed to teach trained and untrained musicians, professionals and amateurs alike, to develop pure creative freedom alongside a foundation of historical knowledge and technique. Anyone can learn!
​
You do not need to have a background in music theory, music reading, improvisation, etc. to explore this method. Everyone is a student and an expert in something.

As a teacher, I am committed to making music affordable for all people.
Generally, lessons are $75 per hour, though I am able to negotiate if you are not able to afford this.

Ichonautics follows the basic principles of focus, knowledge, and wisdom:
Focus is the art of pruning the irrelevant and pouring the best of your mind into what you are doing.
Knowledge can be acquired by focusing on the task at hand.
Wisdom is the sound application of accrued knowledge and experience through patient, good judgment.


Here is a Basic Outline of the method.

For further inquiries, please use the Contact Form.

What to expect from me for a guest artist residency​:
  • One solo piano performance
  • Two masterclasses on the curriculum​
    • One composition master class
    • One improvisation master class
  • Individual 30/60 minute lessons with composition/improvisation students

Ichonautics has been taught at:
The Juilliard School, Columbia University, New York University, Universidad de Costa Rica, Interlochen Center for the Arts, University of Hartford, Virginia Tech Institute and State University, SUNY Purchase, Montclair State University, Capital University, and Kent State University.
