Content
The Composition Projects comprise a composition laboratory. By applying an extremely direct methodology to a mini-project (i.e.: writing a piece), the aim here is to gain familiarity and experience with developing an idea, coming up with the notes, arranging, notating correctly, rehearsing and performing. The student exclusively discovers or is given answers to the questions that are directly generated by their compositions, which in turn results in an extremely efficient learning process.
The composition assignments in Year 2 involve organising and carrying out all of the production tasks, and composing the music, for a short film. The music is written for Orkest de Ereprijs plus library samples (hybrid).
Mode(s) of instruction
Individual coaching and instruction that, depending on the composition of the group, takes place entirely on-campus, entirely online or in a combination of both, i.e., that there are attendees both physically in the classroom and virtually via a screen. Online attendees communicate by seeing, talking and listening to each other and the on-campus attendees equally. The teacher has access to a whiteboard, application sharing, desktop sharing and document sharing and can hand this privilege to any other participants.
Apart from the video conference a high quality stereo audio stream is open at the same time via source connect. That way students and instructor can listen to music from any source of the group and talk about it simultaneously.
All online lessons are recorded and though available for students later on.
