Instrumental Practice 4

– To use diversified musical instruments including, inevitably the voice.

– Accompaniment in tonal functions.

Classes will be predominantly practical with particular emphasis on basic instrumental techniques and interpretation of diverse repertoire. Assessment will be continuous, focusing on technical skills and interpretation skills.
Due to the practical nature of the Curricular Unit, the methodologies applied are in line with a teaching centered on the student’s musical performance, emphasizing the various technical aspects. The various evaluation/concert moments aim to prepare the student for this type of context, in which he will be integrated as an interpreter. The instrumental ensemble practice brings together several facets that the musician/animator must master, having a capital relevance in the acquisition of specific skills by the student. All the work is developed in the sense that the student is endowed with performative “tools” that will enable him, in a systematic way, to have a more solid instrumental musical competence in approaching a diverse and relevant repertoire.

As Musical Practice, at the instrumental level, is of vital importance in the training of Musicians/Musical Animators, the main objectives are:
– Deepen technical and artistic performance, exploring all the potential of the instruments, in order to allow greater ease in terms of communication between performer and listener.
– Explore individual instruments from the perspective of ensemble music.
– Develop theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse repertoire.
– To approach the techniques that allow to interpret the selected repertoire in a stylistically correct way.

– Individual and joint tuning
– Study of selected works from the vocal/instrumental repertoire.
– Performative criteria for a stylistically correct execution: articulation, dynamics, vibrato, historical, stylistic and aesthetic performative contextualization.
– Group music work, with formations created according to the instrumental base that the class has as its first instrument.
– Approach, both at the vocal and Instrumental level, of classical musical periods and styles, passing through traditional music and jazz.
– Organization of complementary activities in order to publicly present the work developed.
