3rd Post: Academic Challenges in 2022

 

There are several changes that I think should be made to the “Musical Interpretation” career.

Currently the musical interpretation career consists of the following subjects: Harmony, History of Art, History of Music, Practice together, Main Instrument, Chamber Music, Aesthetics, Ensemble Guide, seminars, CFG, English, etc. however there are unnecessary subjects, for example Aesthetics, because the way you teach and learn is not the best.

The teaching of theory should be semestral and not annual, there are subjects that do not give for an annual extension, for example History Seminar.

Given this situation, there are some issues that could be modified and improve the situation.

First, the duration of the career, is 8 to 9 years, you could easily get the title at 5 years.

Second, the subjects should be reformed, aiming to prioritize practice with the instrument, over theoretical subjects.

Third, professional practice should be in a professional symphony orchestra and not be a non-existent subject.

Also, the faculty should be modernized urgently, applying technology for the creation of scores, workshops of new technologies, Instances in which students can participate digitally, manage spaces to perform concerts several times a year, etc.

It would also be good if in our faculty, we had more concerts, green areas, that the casino worked on a regular form, took advantage of the spaces.

Finally, our faculty is very old, so it is urgent that it be modernized in infrastructure and spaces, technological rooms and modern pianos, but for now, all this is a dream, but hopefully in the future it may be possible...
