Learning Goals
Develop individual creative skills within the student?s area of specialisation (AD).
Strengthen strategies for artistic promotion and communication in performance, as well as skills in managing performance anxiety in public presentation contexts.
Establish connections between technical and expressive elements, developing analytical and pedagogical competencies in instrumental/compositional teaching.
Critically analyse the repertoire of current programmes in vocational music education in Portugal (Lower and Upper Secondary levels), identifying their pedagogical potential.
Enhance technical and interpretative skills through the performance of representative works from the student's area of specialisation, applicable to Upper Secondary level (grades 6 to 8).
Master pedagogical strategies for teaching the musical parameters of texture and expressivity, tailored to diverse learning contexts and student profiles.
