Philemon Hahn played both drums and violin as a child at the cultural school in Simrishamn. However, his interest in the violin was greater and grew stronger over time. Nowadays, he is a freelance professional musician who, after earning a bachelor's degree at the Ingesund School of Music and a master's degree at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, combines his playing with studies in the one-year Artist Diploma course at Ingesund School of Music.

Philemon Hahn, 25 years old, grew up in Skåne-Tranås, a small town in Österlen.

"I clearly remember the desire to play the violin and drums, I don't really know where it came from, but over time it was clear that the violin was number one for me. Maybe I felt that I could develop my playing in a different way than with the drums. I have played according to the Suzuki method and mostly classical music with some folk music occasionally, but classical is what matters."

Ho, ho, ho Carl Utbult, songwriter and producer, as well as a teacher at Ingesund. It's that time of the year again; you have been the supervisor for the first-year students in the music production program as they wrote and produced this year's Christmas song together in the regular songwriting course. This year, the students drew inspiration from Musikhjälpen and the theme that everyone should have the right to survive their pregnancy, which gives the production a serious message.

What is the recipe for a really good Christmas song harmonically? Is it enough to just add some sleigh bells?
