Inga Dietrich
Thikwa Band Takttikka

In 2013 Inga Dietrich and Ingo Joers formed the band, Takttikka.

Developing one's own skills on the instrument is given the same weight as the development of interaction in the group. Supported by professional musicians Jens Wende and Torsten Kelling, the now 10-member rock band has made many cover versions their own and composed original material at a continuously increasing level of sophistication, whereby the familiar is sometimes destroyed in the search to find their own sound.

Music and Rythm Training

In music training, exploration and improvisation are practiced and encouraged, but also regimented observation of musical arrangements in compositional processes. In addition, there are vocal exercises and circle singing, along with warm-ups through breathing and body training.

Rhythm training trains sensory perception, expressiveness, creative ability and communicative forms – primarily musically but also in general. Material, music, movement and language are brought together and supplemented with exercises in body percussion and, using self-made, percussion instruments as well as various sound materials such as everyday objects and trash.

Music and Rythm Training


With melodic and rhythmic instruments, the voice and the body as a rhythmic source of sound, with analogue as well as electric instruments, music-making is explored in all directions. Whether loud or lyrical, wild or meditative, the end result is always the experience that nothing is as decisive for a common sound as recognising and listening to each other.

By improvising together, non-verbal communication is trained, and through the collective development of songs and arrangements, the laws of musical and compositional processes are learnt, considered and also thrown overboard.
