Completion of Individual Route 1: Free Space

pending

In general: The student sets out the personal learning objectives in accordance with the skills and general objectives mentioned in Competence Matrix Master of Music.
Specific: Realizing the students study plan with the help of external lessons / workshops / and productions. The student learns to independently set up and realise their individual productions. They prepare the productions, carry them out, and record the process in order to have a tangible product, which fits in with their study plan.

The choice of individual productions and the activities within their Free Space are in line with the learning objectives mentioned in the study plan and worked out in detail.

Students will complete at least on own productions or they will work actively on other people's productions. They are responsible for the content of the productions' module, which must correspond with their study plan. The time invested in the production must be in proportion to the number of credits awarded.
Examples of productions are: studio recording (incl. production of the music), making a website, having a film made to go with the music that the student writes, having music recorded, working with a DJ, etc.
At least one production in year 1 or year 2 should be interdisciplinary, combining music with one or more disciplines into one activity. It is about creating something new by crossing borders and thinking beyond them, by connecting and integrating different professions (inside or outside the arts), companies or technologies - with their specific perspectives - in the pursuit of a common task.
Each production should preferably be audio and video recorded.

A production comprises different aspects:
• Preparation;
• Presentation such as concerts, studio recordings and performances;
• Documentation: research, argumentation, justification, reflection, evaluation.

The student may pick the content of the Free Space independently, if related to the learning objectives as set out in the study plan. Examples include: participation in Bachelor courses (such as project weeks and electives), internships in the work field, participation in a renowned masterclass, recording a demo, etc. There is a small budget available for these activities.
