Content
These are extremely practical group classes where all the teaching materials (writing techniques, instrument principles and creating a score) are incorporated into three arrangements for small bands. Writing for children and/or amateurs is also dealt with along with composing for small bands.
Mode(s) of instruction
Group lessons that, depending on the composition of the group, take 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.

Produced on-the-spot.

It indicates a student's progress in this module. No ECs are awarded and there is no resit. Modules can only be absolved, and ECs awarded, after the end of the spring semester. The end-of-semester assessments comprise evaluations of students' performance during the lessons and assignments.
Tests conducted online are valid only if it is done without interruption. The assessor will decide whether or not the test was valid.
