FM1-MUS1-10 Musicianship 1

Contents and structure

-

In this introductory course, students have the opportunity to get to know each other and the music through their own performances and practical and creative processes. The resources in the class form the basis for the further musical activities, as well as for the development of and reflection on students' own musical praxis. Developing the performance, personal and artistic sides of music requires practice and maturation over a long period. An introduction to music practice and methodology helps form the basis for the rest of the programme. As a subject teacher in music, work on the student's principal instrument will be emphasised, in addition to introduction to song and instrument use for didactic work in classrooms and other educational arenas.

 

The course covers the following main topics:

• Performative music production
• Music practice and methodology
• Principal instrument
• Introductory course in song and piano
• Aural skills / music theory
