Physicist, Music Pedagogue
Peter Janzen is Doctor  in Physics (Univ. of Cologne, Germany) and Music-Pedagogue (Univ. of Siegen  Germany).

He lived eight years in Mexico as principal of a big International School. Later he went to Cairo, Egypt as School Coordinator for the German Schools in Middle East.
The imparting of his knowledge has always been one of his main aims – in physics as well as in music.
The musical philosophy of Dr. Janzen, packed in three sentences, is: “Music forms the essence of life, for everybody – that´s a culture independent  reality. But this musical  essence of life will emerge and come to real bloom only, when you practice improvisation: Singing, dancing, playing improvised music will really free your mind and will unfold your musicality.”
Today many  persons in different parts of the world remember how they learned from him, practicing  North American Minimal Music, German  Folksongs, Indian Ragas, Top Twenty Pop Songs, and many other music styles. They began with him, without having had a previous musical education. Some of  them are now successful musicians. Many of them practice music privately.
Now Dr. Janzen is Senior Consultant in Culture and  Education and has begun to produce didactical videos about his areas of  expertise.
