Major Studio (Violin)

Catalog description

Violin studio lesson classes will be taught one-on-one weekly at a scheduled hour determined by the professor and the student's schedule. This course will form the core of the integral group of performance courses for each student. Each semester, students will study and perform various selections of repertoire in their lessons and in the studio performance class (57015) that will help develop their musical understanding, skills, and experience to eventually continue their studies at a higher level and/or prepare for a professional audition. Students will grow in their physical approach to the instrument, aural perception, aural skills, and understanding of aural qualities, interpretation of various composers and styles (explicit and implicit in musical scores), communication with an audience, and how to work as a collaborative artist. Collaborative artists will be at studio lessons, at studio performance class as needed, and available for rehearsals. This will include the assigned faculty member and/or collaborative artist students. Besides the study and performance of repertoire, students will be required to develop and refine skills through the study and practice of exercises, including scales.
