Teaching methods
The course is divided into weekly ear-training session and a weekly theory session. The objective is is to give the student necessary knowledge and tools to conduct a band or orchestra an da ct as a pedagogue in a musical learning situation.
Basic arranging techniques are introduced along with essential musical terminology.
The topics are outlined in my "Hygiene Passport", a semi-humorous concept introducing key knowledge areas necessary for a successful pedagogical activity in the field of music.
Materials
As a reference material a publication called Turnaround (unfortunately in Finnish) is used.
The course is passed when the student attends classes regularly and completes given homework assignments.
