Educational goals

On completion of their First Level Academic Degree in Clarinet, students will have acquired technical knowledge and specific skills to enable them to bring their own artistic ideas to practical fruition.
To this end, the course will focus on the most representative instrumental repertoire – including ensemble music – and on the related performance practices also for the purpose of developing the student’s ability to interact within different kinds of musical ensembles.
Such goals will also be achieved by fostering the development of aural perception and memorization as well as by acquiring specific knowledge concerning organizational, compositional and analytical music models and their interaction.
Specific care will be devoted to learning adequate postural and emotional control techniques.
At the end of the three-year course, students will have acquired in-depth knowledge of both general and specific stylistic, historical and aesthetic aspects in relation to their own field of study.
Moreover, in regard to the specific nature of each single course, students will be required to possess appropriate skills relating to improvisation.
