Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

To foster the student's artistic performance, building upon the work done in the UC Instrumento Principal I, II, III and IV, through the development of his/her skills on the following areas:
a) cognitive (score memorization and stylistic contextualization of the chosen works);
b) musical/expressive (with particular emphasis on texture);
c) technical (continuing development of physical spatial and temporal capacities, as well as motor coordination);
d) communication (performance anxiety management).

To develop the theoretical and practical knowledge of relevant repertoires (cfr. Modern and Contemporary).
To deepen an interdisciplinary approach to instrumental/vocal performance.
To perfect autonomous and responsible work strategies.
To conceive specific valorization projects, as well as public presentations of the work developed, and communication skills.

Contents

Study (and subsequent public presentation) of specific works of the instrumental/vocal repertoire, excluding orchestral excerpts; the individual program for each student will be devised by the teacher in the beginning of the semester, bearing in mind his/her specific aptitudes, general development and technical/artistic maturity, as well as the work done in the UC's Instrumento Principal I, II, III and IV.

Organization of complementary activities (thematic seminars, public presentations, valorization, extension and communication projects), when pertaining.

Specific bibliographical revision.

Teaching Methods

Definition of the individual program and bibliography, according to the student's profile, by the teacher.
Individual lessons based on an interactive teaching methodology, including commentaries, exemplification, suggestions, feedback, reinforcement, practices of formative evaluation and self-evaluation, detailed indications concerning the work to be done in autonomy until the next lesson and planning. Organization of complementary activities (auditions, seminars, masterclasses).

Evaluation
a) definition and pondering of continuous evaluation parameters (participation, assiduity, performance, progression) — 40%;
b) public exam before a jury: performance of about 45 minutes, including a minimum of 3 contrasting works, of which 1 composed in the last 80 years (and, for piano majors, 1 work for piano and orchestra), excluding orchestral excerpts; the repeats indicated in the chosen works must not be played; the whole program should be interpreted from memory — 60%.
