Advanced development of theory skills.

This module is related to the modules Music History, Harmony at the Piano and Rhythm Lab. It also complements the orchestration/arranging modules.

The content of Counterpoint and Voice Leading 1 is based to a large extent on the interests of the students. Students and instructor will decide together on the topics to be covered. The instructor has the final word. Fugue-writing, Palestrina counterpoint, traditional harmonisation exercises - all are possible.

Group lessons that, depending on the composition of the group, take place entirely on-campus, entirely online or in a combination of both, i.e., that there are attendees both physically in the classroom and virtually via a screen. Online attendees communicate by seeing, talking and listening to each other and the on-campus attendees equally. The teacher has access to a whiteboard, application sharing, desktop sharing and document sharing and can hand this privilege to any other participants.
Apart from the video conference a high quality stereo audio stream is open at the same time via source connect. That way students and instructor can listen to music from any source of the group and talk about it simultaneously.
All online lessons are recorded and though available for students later on.

Materials chosen by the students, complemented by materials by the instructor(s).
