Generic module title Main subject semester 1 Specific module title Latin flute Code Osiris Course type Course Year Year 1 Exam goal D Propedeuse Bachelor Content/relation to professional practice

The focus in the curriculum is on the main subject, and consists of 4 years. The aim is to educate the student to become a musically and artistically skilled musician, that can function in ensembles and as a teacher. The student will be taught a reflective attitude and will be continuously stimulated to gain knowledge and skil ls and use these assets to keep on exploring new (maybe unknown) areas in the work field. Near the end of the study the student also has a clear musical/artistic vision on the genre and can explore this musically in a free way, which will particularly show in the chosen repertoire in the final exam. Near the end of the study the student will have knowledge of the historical context of Caribbean and Brazil ian musical traditions as well as of Latin Jazz. During the 4 years the role of the teacher will transform in that of a coach. The first 2 years are mainly focused on learning melodic, rhythmical and harmonic skills, how to apply modern harmonics in the improvisations and getting to know the different Latin and Brazilian vocabularies. The last two years are more focused on the application of the styles taught, and how to translate this in a personal style. An important aspect of interpretation lessons for the student is the development of a realistic self image and learning studying skills. The teaching team consists of three teachers: Annaelis de Jong and Thomas Böttcher teach the global outline of latin music (repertoire, stylistic elements, historical context, theoretical background). Henri Tournier teaches specifically on the flute. This module: In the first semester the focus will be put on sound and finger techniques, l inked to harmony and modal scales. Next to that we will work on improvisation, within harmonic and modal context. The expertise of Henri Tournier in the field of Indian music and contemporary improvisation will give the students extra strategies for improvisation. In the classes of Annaelis de Jong and Thomas Böttcher, the student will work on learning new repertoire and specific stylistic elements. The lessons from Henri Tournier will help the student to interpret and perform this repertoire on the flute in a technically adequate and suitable way. Part of this is obtaining knowledge and skil ls regarding sound production, breathing technique and relaxation. In all lessons subjects l ike phrasing, nuances, accentuation (staccato), intonation, expression, creativity will be covered.

Generic module title General music subjects year 1 Specific module title Music Theory semester 1 Code Osiris Course type Cursus Year Year 1 Exam goal D Propedeuse Bachelor Content/relation to professional practice

Music-theoretical knowledge that is integrated with the associated skil ls of hearing and singing, as well as reading and writing music notation, offers a partly style-independent broad working and thinking foundation for musical professionality. The knowledge obtained enables the student to analyze music, reharmonize, and analyze improsizations based on these music pieces. All of this contributes to the attainment of a higher level of working and thinking as well as an independent position in the performing profession. To support the music theory modules, the student receives two years of lessons in practical harmony, including on the piano. This module consists of two different classes: Lecture: complete overview of general music theory and basic music theory, as a foundation for the higher education in music theory and the development of the integration of l istening and writing skil ls. The student becomes acquainted with the music-theoretical terms (vocabulary) that are used in music theory, concerning music notation in all aspects, scales and chords, rhythm, different times and basic form and harmony theory, consonance, dissonance, circle of fifths and transposition. Attention is also paid to the anatomy and neurology of hearing in humans. Practical: practice lessons with the lecture giving a complete overview of general music theory and basic music theory, as a foundation for the advanced study of music theory and the development of its integration in practice. These practicals are offered in classes organized according to study discipline (wm, jazz, pop) General In the theory lesson nothing new is invented, but the intention is to put into words what a student already knows by ear. The different diatonic scales with associated chords, in both major and minor, wil l be treated. The concept of enharmonization will be explained. Further, the principle of classical harmony will be explained. This harmony theory is based on the three main functions, namely tonic, dominant and subdominant on the scale degrees I, V and IV.

Specific jazz Using a diagram, the relationship of the subsidiary chords to these main scale degrees will be demonstrated. For the naming and showing the connection of the chords (also applied to the inversions), Roman script scale degree numbers will be used. This method is essential, given that chord symbols, as used in jazz music, do not show this relationship. Many common chord progressions such as deceptive cadence and Naples are treated and should be recognized by ear. The student learns to write triads and later four-note chords for four voices, with the associated rules for setting (voicing) and parts (voice leading). Some chorals, such as those composed by J.S.Bach, will be analyzed and l istened to. Naturally these classical rules will be treated in relation to jazz music. Many common chord progressions in jazz music will be explained and played. The following will also be discussed: simple diatonic modulations, chord-unfriendly notes, the blending of minor with major (flat-major), intermediate subdominants and tritone affinity. A start wil l already be made with the analysis of simple improvisations. At the end of this module, the student must have understood that jazz theory does not stand alone but builds on a centuries-long history. Both simple compositions from the classical l iterature, as well as compositions from The Great American Song Book, the so-called Standards, such as Autumn Leaves, There Will Never Be Another You, Lullaby Of Birdland, Days Of Wine And Roses, What’s New and Bye Bye Blackbird and compositions from jazz music such as In a Sentimental Mood and A Child is Born and comparable compositions, can be independently analyzed, taking into account the parameters of melody, harmony, rhythm and form.

Specific world music Study of musical form theory, harmony, with emphasis on jazz and Latin, with reference to improvisation and arranging skills. Pairing with ear training in particular and the musical experience as l istener and performer in general. Cross-connections with European classical music for historical framework and universally applicable terminology, that facil itates communication with musicians from other traditions. Extensive training in writing and reading correct advanced music notation Ear training: intervals, triads, seventh chords, scales Principles of functional harmony and the phrase model Diatonic harmony in major and minor Basic voice-leading principles Cadences

Specific pop music Study of musical form theory, harmony, with emphasis on jazz and pop, with reference to arranging skills. Pairing with ear training in particular and the musical experience as l istener and performer in general. Cross-connections with other music styles for historical style framework and universallly applicable terminology, that facil itates communication with musicians from other traditions. Extensive training in writing and reading correct advanced music notation Ear training: intervals, triads, seventh chords, scales Principles of functional harmony and the phrase model Diatonic harmony in major and minor Cadences

Reference competencies 2, 6, 10, 11 Learning outcomes • knowing and being able to apply music notation in melodic/harmonic respect

(using G key and F key skil lfully, knowledge of the alto and tenor keys, scales using the circle of fifths, correction of enharmonic notation of chords)

The two modules Transcription Latin start in the propaedeutic phase of the study programme and are followed by the two modules Arranging Latin in years 3 and 4. The goal of these modules is to coach students in making transcriptions of various Brazilian and Cuban salsa arrangements. After completing a series of modules, students are able to independently make transcriptions of recordings of both small and large formations. As beginning band or ensemble the, graduates must be able to make transcriptions, as this enhances the insight in the performed repertoire and thereby increases the quality of performances. Through having to apply this knowledge in making their own arrangements, the students’ insight and creativity are stimulated. The first module consists of two elements: Brazilian (1 semester) and Afro-Cuban (1 semester). In groups of more than 8 students, one half first takes the subject Brazilian and then Afro-Cuban, and the other half vice versa.

Generic module title Portfolio year 1 Specific module title Portfolio year 1 Code Osiris Course type Course Year Year 1 Exam goal D Propedeuse Bachelor Content/relation to professional practice

General: The portfolio is a module that contains several activities. Some activities are organized by Codarts (such as the project weeks), other activities are designed by the student (individual study activities) Both types of activities have an common that they are focused on orientation on making informed choices in study and professional practice. They confront the student with different aspects of the art profession, both with regards to the different professional roles and other art disciplines. This broad orientation on the art profession stimulates the student to reflect on his own ambitions and profile and to translate this into concrete choices during and after study. The Portfolio year 1 consists of five elements:

• Individual study activities, (28 hours, or 1 ec) • Project week 1 • Project week 2 • Bizz day • Health & Performance day

Individual study activities (ISA’s) Isa’s are activities designed and performed by the student, such as participation in extra ensembles, own ensembles outside of Codarts, workshops, courses, etc. The ISA’s stimulate the self-directed or authentic learning. The ISA must answer to a fixed set of criteria. The ISA:

• Is executed on initiative of the student • Is supported by a learning question • Is aimed at a desired result • Gives a broader perspective or a deepened understanding • Has a relation to the broader context of the art profession

At the start of the study year the student discusses his ISA plans with his study coach and writes his account of the executed activities in an ISA report at the of the year. (see below under Exam 1.) Deadline for handing in the report is 15 June. Deadline for the retry is 25 August. Project weeks Every year two project weeks are organized. At least one of these weeks has a department transcending character in the sense that students of different departments and disciplines participate in joined projects. Form and theme vary per project week. During the project week the student is given the opportunity to get acquainted with disciplines/ genres/ aspects of the professional practice that were sti l l unknown to him. When a student has attended the project(s) to which he was assigned, he obtains a positive result. Students that have not sufficiently attended the project(s) wil l have to do an substituting assignment (see below under Exam 2) Entrepreneurship Codarts educates self counscious music students. At the end of their studies all Codarts detutns should be well informed about the workings of the music business and master the basic principles of entrepreneurship. They know how to transfer their talents and creativity to a saleable product and/ or service and they know how to manage a profitable business in music. In the first year student will be introduced to the music branch. They learn about the different parties, interests and relevant trends. The student will be asked to reflect on what entrepreneurship in the music business means and what their personal relationship is to

the music business and entrepreneurship. Because many student will already be busy in the professional practice during their studies they need to know about the most important rules regarding administration, taxes, VAR and ways of payment. The material wil l be offered by guest speakers, excursions, lessons and self-study. Also the knowledge and experience of the teaching team regarding entrepreneurship will be incorporated. The Bizz day is a part of Entrepreneurship. During this day first year students are stimulated to already start thinking about l ife after Codarts. Guest speakers that are active as musical professionals explain how to earn their income in the music business and what kind of activities you can organize after your music studies and how important parties in the business work. Students will pitch ideas they already have to these guest speakers. Information is also given about what the first steps should be when starting your own business, for example when it comes to taxes and copyright. Health & Performance day In project week 1 a special Health & Performance day will be organized for first year music students. This days consists of lectures and workshops that help you gain insight in the important role of health in the performing arts. Examples of covered themes are ear protection, injury prevention, healthy nutrition and performance preparation.
