Students can opt for continuous/periodic assessment or assessment by examination during the regular season, provided that, in either case, they attend at least 75% of the classes taught.
Students with a grade of less than 10 in the continuous/periodic assessment, or in the regular period exam, may register for an exam during the appeal period, provided that they have attended at least 75% of the classes taught.
Students with grades in the continuous/periodic assessment or in the regular season exam equal to or greater than 10 can register for an appeal exam, to improve their classification, provided that they have attended at least 75% of the classes taught.
Assessment criteria: Reading – 30%; Instrumental technique – 40%; Interpretation – 30%.

Learning Results

As Musical Practice, at the instrumental level, is of vital importance in the training of Musicians/Musical Animators, the main objectives are:
– Develop 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.

Program

– 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 and popular music.
– Organization of complementary activities in order to publicly present the work developed.
