Course content
The subject builds upon the contains of Instrument and Performing A, or equivalent. Individual lessons in main instrument with emphasis on independent work, including group lessons with technical practice and specific instrumental themes. The subject emphasizes concert training and ensemble training, and the student must participate with solo or chamber musical repertoire in at least two concerts during the academic year. At least one of the concerts must be part of Department of Music's own concerts. The concerts are to be documented and approved in the semester reports.
Compulsory course in Conducting gives the students practical experience in leading an ensemble through conducting, leading while being part of the ensemble yourself and so on.
Compulsory course in methodology is aimed at practicing and learning strategies in a lifelong perspective.
Compulsory course in Instrument Knowledge/Voice Physiology: The course is primarily offered in the second year of study, but several classes containing few students from various instrument groups may be combined (does not apply for students with organ as main instrument MUSP4533). As a result of this the student will be able to continue at MUSP4170 without having completed this part of MUSP4160.
