The Music Progromme’s Philosophy
Practical Courses in Music are, in this University, conceived as complimentary to the theoretical ones. Thus, competencies, understanding and skills are expected in the theoretical as well as in the practical aspects of the Music of Africa, Europe, America, Latin America, and other world cultures. Opportunities are provided for appreciation, analysis, practice and communication of music as a performing art and as a highly literacy art.
The last year of the programme introduces areas of professional specialization in Music Education, Music composition, Ethnomusicology, and Music performance. The election for any of the options is based on skills and aptitudes acquired in earlier years.
