Courses & Offerings

INDIVIDUAL LESSONS
This module will provide the students with the opportunity to understand and develop their basic technical and musical skills. Through the requisite study of scales, arpeggios, studies and selected repertoire, students will establish a firm technical and musical foundation. Students will be given guidance upon appropriate ways to present their performance.
Ensemble & Band
GROUP
This module aims to develop the student musicianship in performance with others. Within a large group, students develop ensemble and performance skills, by reinforcing practical skills, initiative, self-motivation and good listening skills. Students are trained to be reflexive and responsive in harmonizing with others. Also, students constantly acquire repertoire knowledge, professional discipline and the ability to evaluate his/her contribution in order to present a musical performance with clarity and precision.
Keyboard Skills
GROUP
This lab is to develop individual and interactive playing skills for all instruments in musically practical groupings, with a particular focus on developing sight reading. Students will also work on developing other aspects of ensemble performance skills such as rhythmic syncopation and improvisation as well as advice on developing technique and apply these to simple pieces taken from the pop and jazz standards repertoire.
Musicianship Skills
CLASSROOM
This module is designed to equip students with the understanding of aural and sight singing skills. Students will learn to apply music theory knowledge in the aspect of pitch, rhythm and harmony. Students will also be able to dictate music and sight sing hands-on musical excerpt.
Music Theory
CLASSROOM
The module aims to provide students with principles and theories of music which include melody writing intervals and four-part harmony. Such skills are considered fundamental to the student being able to progress effectively to higher music theory learning both classical and pop studies.
English
CLASSROOM
This is to prepare students for the competency level equivalent to IELTS 3.5 – 5.5 level within one academic year. The course is to allow students to prepare for the mandatory requirement to achieve the pre-requisite for the subsequent course progression.
Contemporary Music Writing Techniques
CLASSROOM
Contemporary Music Writing Techniques teaches students how contemporary songs are put together and what makes them successful. If you want to sell your songs and make a living from your music, then it’s essential that you have an understanding of music theory, composition and arrangement techniques. We also look at the music industry in the 21st Century and explore copyright, publishing and promotion. Practical exercises form an integral part of this course and so students are expected to be able to play an instrument or experienced in music production software such as Logic and Amadeus Pro and etc.
Harmony
WORKSHOP
This module develops skills necessary both for understanding music through notated scores and for critiquing that approach to understanding music by introducing key concepts of how music is studied in its wider contextual spaces. The study of Harmony builds on the knowledge of basic elements acquired in Rudiments to address melody writing, harmonization and analysis. Students will gain an understanding of musical structure and syntax that allows them to engage more deeply with the music they hear and play.
Counterpoint
WORKSHOP
This module tests the application of materials studied in harmony to contrapuntal writing in the style of Baroque period. Counterpoint is the art of combining musical lines so that they sound good together and yet retain certain independence. It is an extremely valuable skill for a musician to study.
Contemporary Music Analysis
WORKSHOP
The module aims to provide students with the tools to effectively analyse music visually and aurally. Such skills are considered fundamental to the student being able to progress effectively to the modules available at upper levels. Alongside the weekly lecture experience students will participate in seminars/workshops designed to develop and increase aural awareness in a variety of contexts.
Instrumental & Ensemble Writing
WORKSHOP
This module aims to give students an opportunity of writing and arranging music for actual instrumentalists, this time in an ensemble setting. It would allow them to see the overall effect of the parts they write or arrange when it is played by an actual ensemble. (If instrumentalists are for some reason, unavailable, this would allow students to zoom in and practice writing for one family of instruments, practice and understand what is effective on one instrumental choir, see how individual instruments of that family blend together, and see how one instrumental choir blends with the other, hone their skills on instrumental choirs and simple tone colour combinations, before moving on to the next module, which is writing for full orchestras in Orchestration and Arranging.)
