Teaching and Learning Methods

The course provides students with practical and theoretical competence in artistic project development, with particular emphasis on concert production. Through work involving idea and concept development, target audience analysis, programming, production and the presentation of a concert, students develop insight into the artistic and organisational dimensions of professional practice as musicians.

The course encourages reflection on the role of music in society, the musician as communicator and entrepreneur, and collaborative processes in project work. Students work both individually and in groups and receive guidance from course teachers, as well as input from guest lecturers and professionals from the music sector.

Through the development of their own artistic projects, students are introduced to topics related to research and artistic development work, both in theory and in practice. The course seeks to integrate the ongoing research and artistic development activities of the Academy’s faculty into the students’ learning processes.
