Jan Valášek, DiS.
author of the 111 MUSIC music method and the Silence Within Us course
Jan Valášek, DiS., was born in December 1994. He grew up in Kolín, where he took clarinet lessons from his father at the local elementary art school, where his father has been teaching for 13 years. He later studied this instrument at the Prague Conservatory with Prof. Milan Polák. His subsequent path in music education then led him to the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Here he studied with Prof. Vlastimil Mareš and Prof. Jiří Hlaváč. Later, together with his father, Jaromír Valášek, a player in the State Opera theater orchestra, and Prof. Jiří Hlaváč, former rector and dean of this faculty, he developed and later consulted on the pedagogical methodology for his musical method, which he symbolically named 111 Music.
However, due to tendon injuries, he was unable to complete his studies in the final semester, as the pain in his hands prevented him from practicing the clarinet at a competitive level. At this time, however, an idea began to form in his mind for a completely innovative project, one that would carry out the timeless and unique mission of teaching music to all children using a very special interactive method. After seven years of hard work, during which he created all the publications, audio recordings, videos, graphics, etc. himself, another idea emerged. Namely, to help all people who, in these hectic and fast-paced times, long to find and rediscover their inner peace, to ground themselves, to settle family or work relationships, to understand the topic of illness from a slightly different angle, to fulfill their dreams and desires, to discover the power of trees, and much more. However, we are talking about an online personal development course, which Mr. Valášek symbolically named Silence Within Us.
In this two-hour course, which he also created from scratch to its current form over a period of four years, he attempted to summarize his bumpy journey, during which he had the opportunity to encounter many interesting and inspiring things. And even though it was a difficult journey, full of falls and hard climbs, which took the form of ups and downs, he always believed in a successful outcome. His intention was the same throughout. To be able to help as many children and adults on this planet as possible in their personal and spiritual growth. If that happened, then all this effort was worthwhile.
