The student will discover its relation to art on a deeper level and how to make music to it. The student will learn to develop its own musical expressiveness in relation to any non-musical source.
Relation to other modules
This module is related to the main subject module.
Content
In these lessons the student will choose different forms of art like poetry, paintings, sculptures, design, text, a story, film etc. and make music to it.
The student will be asked to research these chosen pieces of art and will be asked to organize or compose music to it. This music will be made in different occupations; solo, duo as well as with the whole group.
During the group lessons there will be a conversation why, how and what to play in relation to the chosen piece of art.
This group is initiated by Jasper Le Clercq. Note that we can not guarantee which teacher will lead a band, it will be clear by September.
