1/ Codarts Music 1.1 Codarts Rotterdam Codarts Rotterdam is an international university that offers high quality, professional art education in the fields of music, dance and circus. The university has some 1000 students of 50 nationalities and approximately 240 employees. Codarts Rotterdam provides the following study programmes:

Bachelor Music Bachelor Music in Education Bachelor Dance

Bachelor Dance in Education

Bachelor Circus Arts Master Music Master Art Education

Master Dance Therapy Bachelor Music The bachelor Music is a four-year full-time course. The total study load of the programme is 240 study points (EC), consisting of a one-year propaedeutic phase of 60 EC and a three-year main phase of 180 EC. The official language in classes can be English or Dutch. After completing the programme you will have obtained the degree Bachelor of Music (BMus). The diploma opens up the possibility of continuing your studies with a Master Music, depending on qualification. Within the Bachelor Music there are five branches of studies: Classical Music, Jazz, Pop, World Music and Music Theatre. Each of these branches has its own characteristic profile and specialised study programme. At the same time, they share the same professional profile in which the end qualifications have been defined.

End Qualifications The Bachelor Music is aimed at 11 end qualifications, subdivided into three domains: the artistic domain, the professional-vocational domain and the professional-social domain. A complete overview of these end qualifications and further information about them can be found at the end of this study guide.

Craftsmanship Codarts combines the oldest traditions and the latest movements in professional art education that lives up to international standards. Students immediately apply all they learn in projects, performances and concerts. Self-Management Codarts regards students as self-confident designers of their own future. Right from the start, there learn to carry and share responsibility. Everything is aimed at the maximum development of a personal artistic identity. Diversity Codarts is firmly rooted in Rotterdam and has always passed on the most divergent cultures, styles and disciplines to new generations of performing artists who see the world as their working field. Inquisitiveness Codarts is an inquisitive community where thoughts and questions are exchanged, considered and developed. This takes place in a continuous collaboration between professors, teachers, students and third parties. At Codarts, thinking and acting following naturally from each other and students are emphatically encouraged to do both. Sustainability Codarts train students for a professional existence that will last decades. Students are intensively coached in developing and maintaining their health, resilience and flexibility. Connectivity Codarts is the link between talent and the international working field. At the end of the day, everything is about connection: between artist and colleagues, between artist and audience, between artist and society. It goes without saying that the international professional field comes to Codarts to scout talents. Codarts also collaborates with numerous local,

national and international organisations to make sure that talented students are also seen and heard outside our own buildings. Codarts Music

learning environment in which the attention is focused on you, the student. Codarts Music believes in idiosyncratic musicians who, on the basis of their personal artistic identity, are able to claim their own place in the world of music. This means that you are keenly aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and can use this to your advantage. Such insight environment challenges you to make choices in how you apply your creativity, helped by vocational skills and knowledge. The unique range in music styles and other art disciplines available at Codarts provide you with plenty of room to design your own music story, whether by specialising in a specific music style or by combining multiple styles and disciplines. Authentic learning is the didactic principle of this student-driven learning environment. In authentic learning the focus is on individual artistic development. The study programme provides frameworks for this without becoming a straitjacket. Own initiative and responsibility are key values, giving you the opportunity to go your own way while learning, curriculum is characterised by openness, allowing space for research and experiments. In the course of your studies, you will be introduced to a wide range of music styles and the study programme gives you the opportunity to broaden or deepen your development. Classes are given by a varied team of teachers and guest teachers, so you can learn from different teachers and be inspired by them. In addition, you can make full use of the knowledge and expertise that other departments and study programmes have to offer: Classical Music, Pop, Jazz, World Music and Music Theatre, Dance and Circus, as well as the teacher training programmes in Music and Dance.

In the Codarts community we learn from the challenges and solutions we meet on our journey, thus building an educational environment together that is always in motion. A fine example of this are the Full Moon Babylon Concerts, completely organised by students and alumni from all study programmes within Codarts, in which they present their projects to each other. Also, Codarts is part of an extensive network of partners in Rotterdam and far beyond. Together with these partners we frequently organise projects and events, such as band projects together with the Willem de Kooning Academy, concerts at the Erasmus Medical Centre, a multidisciplinary accompaniment of the annual Christmas dinner at the town hall and the big band concerts at the North Sea Jazz Festival. Codarts does more than provide the artistic facilities you need to become a successful performing artist. For a successful, sustainable career, injury prevention is essential. At Codarts, Student Life provides various facilities that can help you prevent or eliminate impediments, as well as good advice to have a long and healthy life in music. Professional Roles Codarts Music trains students to become self-willed, broadly employable musicians that can demonstrate their personal qualities in the

must have more skills besides producing high quality art. You also have to be able to market your art as a strong product, develop innovative ideas and concepts and shape your working environment. The key to this is an open and inquisitive attitude: looking beyond the boundaries of what you know, always looking for challenges and how to make your own unique contribution. Above all, it is important that you, as a young inspiring artist, are able to communicate your professional skills and vision to others. To your audience and the people you work with, but perhaps also to students of a music school or in your own music practice. You can be an important link in helping young people to realise their dream of becoming an artist.

To help you find your way in all these aspects of being a professional

so-called professional roles: the musician, the maker/performer, the teacher, the entrepreneur and the researcher. The Musician As a musician you strive for the freedom of uninhibited self-expression in your main subject. This requires controlling that main subject on the highest possible level, both technically and artistically. Therefore, this professional role is of a professional-vocational nature. Solfège (ear training), rhythmic training, music theory subjects and practical harmony are all aspects of this professional role, as they provide insight into the art of music and strengthen the vocational side of your musical development. In your profile space you can choose minors that help deepen this professional role, for example the minor Improvisation Strategies or a specific music theoretical minor such as Tala (Indian music) or Makam (Turkish music). The Maker/Performer Whether composing or performing, as a musician you relate to fellow musicians and your audience. Therefore this professional role combines modules that are about playing together, performing and stage presence, collaboration and experiment. In other words, starting from day one you will be putting your artistic profession into practice in ensembles, practical lessons, projects, concerts and performances. Codarts can provide a wide range of platforms and stages both within and outside of the institution and we encourage you to also look for places to perform yourself. Within this professional role there are various minors to choose from, some oriented at performing, others at creating, such as the minors Flamenco playing, World singing, Creative Producing and Jazz Composition in practice, but also Classical Musical and Camera Acting with the Music Theatre department.

The Teacher As a musician you must be able to communicate your view, knowledge and skills to others. In all professional roles you are dealing with fellow performers, readers, listeners, booking agents and visitors with whom you wish to share your view on music. First and foremost, however, you will need these skills in your role as teacher. This is why Codarts teaches you the basic skills in professional didactics and pedagogics that you absolutely need as a musician and that you will train during your studies. If you aspire to becoming a licensed teacher, you may follow the minors Education during the third and fourth study year. The Entrepreneur No matter how your professional practice may turn out, in the current cultural and economic climate a permanent full-time position up to retirement age seems highly unlikely. Today, an increasing number of musicians are therefore independent entrepreneurs. This requires an entrepreneurial attitude, as well as skills and knowledge of the professional environment you find yourself in. Obviously you know your own artistic and creative potential, chances and challenges, you know yourself and what you want, but you also know how to reach artistic partners and especially your audience. You will have to take initiatives and exert influence in order to bring about change. Our study programme pays much attention, both in specific ways and integrated within the practical education, to the many business aspects of your professional practice. Should you wish to study the business aspect of the arts in more depth, you may choose to take the minor Entrepreneurship. The Researcher An inquisitive, explorative attitude is essential. It starts with self-reflection and a willingness to learn things. Sometimes this means you have to put your instrument or vocation aside in order to truly delve into the study matter. You have to be reflective, analytical and capable of distancing yourself from the subject in order to speak or write about it. At some departments, an extensive process of peer feedback is now

better insight into their own work and functioning via this reflection on the work of others. At Codarts, research is rooted in your professional practice, helping you to become a better musician. This includes, for instance, knowledge of the history of music as well as the ability to have that knowledge influence the way you perform or compose music. Doing research with as end results a written thesis and a presentation is one of the modules of this professional role. Finally, by developing some research skills during the Bachelor phase you are preparing for research during the Master phase, where it is an

the option to obtain your PhD in the DocArtes PhD programme, which has been set up in collaboration with Leiden University. Examinations at Codarts Our views on education also define our examination policy. Each module in your study programme is concluded with a proper examination. Three aspects are leading:

1. Validity An examination is valid if it tests what it is supposed to test. This means that the test is well aligned with the education, with what you have learned, but also with situations you are likely to encounter in your professional practice. This is why Codarts often uses practical exams and practical assignments in which you combine your knowledge and skills from various disciplines to arrive at a personal, individual product. The frameworks of these tests are fixed, but their content (for instance the choice of repertoire) is open to your own contributions. In the course of your studies you will make increasingly informed and deliberate choices in this.

2. Reliability An examination is valid if it is evaluated by means of fixed

8

evaluation criteria. There can be no arbitrariness in this. The evaluation criteria are clear and unambiguous and students are aware of them in advance. Also, for each specific test, standards have been defined that specify what the least is you should do in order to pass the test.

3. Transparency Transparency means that, as a student, you know when examinations take place and what their subject matter is. The year planning explicitly lists examination weeks and the opportunities for resitting an exam. This year planning is included elsewhere in this study guide. For each module there is a module description, specifying what is expected of you by the end of the module (learning outcomes), the form the exam takes, the exam criteria that are used and the entrance requirements. Transparency also means that you will be given a clear motivation of the evaluation as well as constructive feedback to help you further develop your learning process.

Double Degree If you take part in the double-degree programme of one of the study programmes Classical Music, Jazz, Pop or World Music in combination with Arts & Culture Studies at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (ESHCC) or Liberal Arts at the Erasmus University College (EUC), then you will have an alternative curriculum. More information about this curriculum can be found at: http://www.rasl.nu/doubledegree/ For additional information about taking part in this programme and the personal coaching involved, please contact: Frans Koevoets fmkoevoets@codarts.nl

2/ Information by

Study Programme 2.1 Classical Music The department of Classical Music at Codarts focuses on the vocational training aspect of the study but also on entrepreneurial, educational and research skills. Codarts Classical Music regards these as strongly related aspects of the professional practice and therefore aims at a far-reaching integration of the professional roles associated with it. The curriculum clearly reflects these roles. See also the paragraph Didactic Model and

As a student, from this basis you learn how to become a self-aware musician who can move professionally in the rapidly changing world of classical music. Codarts Classical Music offers you an environment in which you can find your own way. Codarts has teachers of classical music who not only train you to achieve the highest musical level but also take your uniqueness and sometimes your idiosyncrasy into account. We place you with just one main subject teacher but with a team of teachers and guest teachers. There is also much attention for ensemble play and practical lessons, which we place in a realistic context. This means you are not only working on the technical-vocational aspects of ensemble play, but also on things such as organisation, profiling, and marketing and publicity. In addition, you can make full use of the musical inspiration and knowledge offered by other departments: Pop, Jazz, World Music and Music Theatre, but also Dance and Circus.

Rotterdam as a city offers a wonderful and varied cultural environment. Codarts Classical Music has intensive collaborations with concert hall the Doelen and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Codarts Classical Music offers the following programmes: Orchestral instruments, including harp In classical music the symphony orchestra takes up a prominent position. The current cultural climate in Europe has led to a decrease in the number of large orchestras and many classical musicians are now working in other settings. This is why, even more than before, we treat orchestral instruments also as solo instruments, chamber music instruments and ensemble instruments in non-classical line-ups. Piano The study programme Piano is a wide ranging programme that not only pays attention to solo skills but also to ensemble play and piano accompaniment. This wide range is also reflected in subjects such as practical harmony, which transcend the genre as such. Organ The study programme for organ players is strongly interwoven with the church music study. On the one hand, within the main subject and in subjects such as improvisation and organ accompaniment the programme focuses on contemporary organ practice, while on the other hand there is also attention for Protestant-Christian church music subjects such as hymnology and liturgy. Besides, connections are made with pop, jazz and world music. Voice The main subject classes form the backbone of your studies. Other important elements are the interpretation classes given by our own teachers and sometimes by external experts the chamber choir, language modules and other group lessons. Whether your ambition is to become an opera or choir singer or teacher, you will always be part of a larger whole. Besides developing your social skills in group lessons, you

10

are given the opportunity to optimally develop your collaborative skills by taking part in challenging projects. For many years now, your main subject teachers have been putting their enormous expertise with regard to all aspects of the art of singing into practice. They do so by applying often centuries-old methods and insights, but also by keeping close track of the latest developments in their profession. They put your personal development first, without losing sight of your future working field. Whichever career you eventually choose, you will want to be able to present yourself the best you can. This is why and this is unique for the Netherlands you will take the subject performing for four years. You will learn to communicate what you have to say to your audience in an appealing manner. Conducting At Codarts, we think that the conductors of the future will have to be increasingly creative and enterprising if they are to respond to the rapid changes in society, which also put classical music increasingly under pressure. The study programme is aimed at training you in such a way that, besides craftsmanship, you also develop the ability to shape your own future, for instance by thinking of and organising new concepts. The programme offers you the opportunity to be active as conductor/musical director in choirs, symphony orchestras, opera, wind oshort, in any situation where a musical director is required. You will gain as much practical experience as possible, since conducting is a craft that is learned in collaboration with musicians and not at home in front of the mirror! There are three main subject choices: Choir Conducting, Orchestra Conducting, and Hafabra/Creative Director, represented by three main subject teachers. The idea is that all three teachers are involved with all students. You choose one main subject, and then the other two are offered in the form of a weekly group lesson. Music Theory The main subject Music Theory is intended for students who have a

reflect on music on the basis of objective and abstract concepts. In the study programme Music Theory this mainly takes place through analysing music and studying the literature: the intense, meticulous and very serious study of the various phenomena that constitute music, seen in the context of the era in which the music was written. This requires well-developed hearing. You will also study the various writing techniques modal and tonal counterpoint and tonal harmony to gain insight in various matters of

th-century writing techniques are studied as well. Students taking the entrance test for the main subject Music Theory have often already studied at a conservatory. This means that they enter at a high level, which makes it possible for them to complete the

continue their studies by taking a two-year Master, depending on their level. Composition

-that acquiring solid craftsmanship and developing creative skills should be coached and stimulated in an integrated way. Your ambition to acquire a personal signature as a composer is the first priority in this development! Structure of the Programme All programmes within the Bachelor Music are structured according to the same model. The modular structure of the various professional roles is reflected in each of the programmes. The content of the various programme elements differ with each branch of study. This modular system allows you (on certain conditions) to switch between different study branches, thus putting together your own unique profile. At the end of this study guide you will find a visual representation of the curriculum model.

11

The study programmes Composition and Music Theory have a different structure. These two programmes will therefore be treated separately at the end of this chapter. Main Subject (professional role: musician) The main subject takes central stage throughout the four years of your studies. It is the part with the largest study load and the most study credits. Besides taking weekly lessons, you will spend much time in self-teaching. There is the opportunity to take master classes and renowned pedagogues will teach guess lessons. Theoretical Subjects (professional role: musician) The music theory subjects solfège, harmony, analysis and analysis techniques, and counterpoint are inextricably linked to the main subject classes and to each other. In the modules Music Theory Education (years 1 3) you master the principles of harmony theory and analysis. In the course of your studies you learn how to apply the knowledge you have acquired in practical situations. For instance, you learn how to analyse works from your performance repertoire. The finale is the lecture recital you will give in semester 7, in which you analyse one of the pieces of your graduation exam programme and present your findings to your teachers and fellow students. You show them how the insights from your analysis influence how you perform the piece. In the solfège classes (years 1 and 2) you work on ear training and sight-singing. Finally, students of harp, piano, organ and conducting follow the additional module Counterpoint in years 2 and 3. Practical Harmony (professional role: musician) The modules Practical Harmony support the theoretical subjects. They help you make the theory concrete on the piano. You also learn how to accompany yourself and others. Harp players are taught the specific practical harmony for the harp, and pianists are trained in playing chord symbols.

Ensemble Play (professional role: musician) In the modules Ensemble Play you learn how to make use of your own skills while collaborating with your fellow students. This collaboration may take place in the form of orchestra projects, chamber music rehearsals, group practical lessons, accompaniment, et cetera. Below is an overview of the various forms of ensemble play for each programme.

If your main subject is an orchestral instrument, your training will also be aimed at playing in orchestras and ensembles. All students are expected to take part in four orchestra and ensemble projects each year. A scheme for all the projects is made available at the start of each study year. Starting in the second semester of the first year, chamber music is a mandatory subject for all students of orchestral instruments and pianists. In consultation with the coordinator for chamber music you form your own ensemble, which will be coached by various chamber music teachers. The lessons treat ensemble play, tone building, unity of

12

playing style, choice of repertoire and social manners. Besides taking these classes, there are opportunities to gain practical experience on concert stages in Rotterdam and surroundings. If you are a singer, you will receive training in choir singing and drama/performance, besides your main subject. Voice students take part in the chamber choir and the practical choir once a week and up to four choir projects (often with orchestra). Organ players also take part in the chamber choir and in addition they follow the subjects accompaniment and informed musicianship. Starting in year 3, they also take church choir and Gregorian. Pianists usually do not take part in orchestra projects. They follow the

ensembles (see the above overview under orchestra instruments). Students of conducting take part in the various practical lessons and practical weeks. During your studies you sing in the chamber choir and, together with the teachers, you work on your own working field activities, for instance with your own choir or ensemble. If, because you have fallen behind in your studies, you take more than four years to complete the Bachelor phase, you are expected to continue to take part in orchestra and ensemble projects, respectively choir projects, right up to your final examination. Portfolio modules under the professional role of entrepreneur The portfolio modules under this professional role are a recurring element in each study year. These modules consist of the various activities related to entrepreneurship, introduction, broadening and extracurricular activities. These include the project weeks. Each year, there are two project weeks, when there are no regular classes but instead special projects, workshops and master classes are organised. The first week is a project week specific for each department, with projects that fit within your study programme. The second project week is always a Codarts-wide project week in which all sorts of projects are organised that transcend genres and disciplines. Being confronted by contacts that are completely new to you, widens your horizon.

Apart from that there is the introductory course Health and Performance, which is about how to be a professional musician in a healthy and sustainable manner. This introductory course help you to get an idea of the professional practice and what is expected of you, early on in your studies. This helps you to make informed choices about the course of your studies. The first- and second-year students take the course in entrepreneurship, which will be further elaborated in the course of their studies. This course treats all the aspects of entrepreneurship in relationship to your future professional practice: skills, professional attitude, leadership, imagination and creation, forming opinions. These elements will also be related to your personal artistic profile, which will result in a pitch in which you present yourself as a self-confident musician in your graduation year. Music Worldwide (professional role: researcher) The second-year module Music Worldwide is one you will not find at any other conservatory. The module consists of a kaleidoscope of interactive lectures on various music styles across the globe, both of the past and of the present. Also, you work on the professional role of research by doing independent additional research into one of the styles that were treated in the lectures. So, there is no mandatory subject, but you are challenged to find out more about what appeals to you and share this with your fellow students. Education (professional role: teacher) In the first two years of your studies, you have taken big steps in your development as a musician and as a maker/performer. In year 3 you will work on the professional role of teacher. This educational element consists of three modules in one semester. Education A: this module addresses all kinds of subjects that have to do with transference, such as general didactics, communication and feedback, presentational skills, group dynamics, motivation, developmental psychology, learning styles, teacher roles and core qualities.

13

Education B: in this module you start working with your own instrument in a practical setting. You study teaching methods and transference techniques as well as current developments in the field of instrumental education, such as the use of new media. Internship: the internship module gives you the opportunity to put into practice the things you have learned. After all, teaching can only be trained in real-life situations. This is done in an in-house internship in which you teach individual students or small groups of students under supervision of your internship coach. Should you have developed a taste for teaching after successfully finishing these modules, you can acquire further teaching skills by taking the minor Education. After passing this minor, you will be an officially qualified teacher for certified music schools. Considering their specific work field, this minor is mandatory for pianists. Thesis (professional role: researcher) The final stages of your studies offer a fine challenge: writing a research-based thesis. You are free to choose your own subject, as long as your research contributes to your development as a self-aware musician. The preparatory module of semester 6 consists of classes in research skills and personal coaching in formulating your research design. The module is concluded with giving a research pitch before a committee and fellow students. In semester 7 you actually conduct your research, supervised by your research coach. By the end of semester 7 you demonstrate your research skills by handing in your thesis and giving a public

means you help build an ever-growing knowledge base for both students and teachers. Profile Space The profile space offers classes that are unique to your study programme and therefore define your graduation profile. In years 1 and 2 these include the mandatory profile modules. For all students of Classical Music these are the modules Music History in years 1 through 3, plus de module Lecture-recital in year 4 (see above, under Theoretical

Subjects). The other profile subjects differ with each programme, as listed below.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Orchestra instruments

Orchestra playing

Voice Languages (German, French, Italian)

Piano Performance practice

Organ Improvisation

Conducting Ear training Choir and orchestra training

In years 3 and 4, the profile space is considerably larger and also has room for individual choices. In year 3 the profile space covers 6 EC and in year 4 even 18 EC. (Please note: students of Conducting and of Composition only ever profile space in the fourth year, of 12 EC). The profile space may be filled with miners and optional subjects. Codarts offers a wide range of minors, both theoretical and practice-oriented ones, for a more in-depth study of the various professional roles. At the end of each academic year, the third- and fourth-year students-to-be are invited to sign up for one or more minors. Some minors take place during only one semester, while others may continue throughout the year. There are light minors of 6 EC more substantial ones of 12 EC, so make sure that you will earn enough points in your profile space when signing up for minors. Study Programme Composition The study programme Composition is provided within an inter-faculty of Composing Classical Music and Composing Jazz. Both programmes have a substantial overlap with the instrumental/vocal programmes of the departments concerned. As a student of Composition you will take a large number of modules together with instrumental/vocal students of Classical Music or Jazz:

Besides the subjects mentioned above, there are specific subjects for Composition. These are taught to composition students of Jazz and Classical Music together. This concerns the following modules:

Main subject (and minor) Analysis New Media

Practical Instrumentation Optional Modules

Aesthetics and Philosophy Main subject (professional role: musician) The main subject takes central stage throughout the four years of your studies. It is the part with the largest study load and the most study credits. Besides taking weekly lessons, you will spend much time in self-teaching. Additionally, there are a number of mandatory academic subjects, such as historical knowledge and analysis of Western composed music from 1900 to the present, theoretical knowledge and practical application of instrumentation and electronic music in theory and practice (including live electronics).

Main subject (professional role: musician) The study programme Composition aims at being a forum and workplace for young composers. To this end, there are presentations of own work by both students and teachers of the Department, but also lectures and workshops, for which guests from the Netherlands as well as from abroad are invited. For these activities, all students of Composition meet every week in the practical lessons. In addition you take instrumentation classes and a number of optional subjects to broaden or deepen your studies.

departments within the conservatory and students are invited to take part in nationwide projects for young composers, such as those organised by the ASKO Ensemble. And then there are opportunities to work on joint projects with students from other art disciplines, such as visual art, video and film, theatre and dance. Within the department itself, taking courses or working (under supervision) in various directions such as jazz and/or film music is also possible. Optional Modules (professional role: maker) Students of Composition can make a selection from the following optional modules (each module has a maximum number of credits during the study; see study credits table).

2.2 Jazz

Jazz, De Bezige Bij, 1992)

the best answer to the question: why study Jazz? At Codarts Jazz, you can further develop and shape this Rotterdam ode to jazz on a daily basis. Jazz music is flesh and blood, jazz lives, is always in motion, always challenging. This music is not past glory or merely a tradition, but is embraced by many as a source of inspiration and a lifestyle. Codarts Jazz was the first jazz institute in the Netherlands, when it opened its doors at the then already renowned Rotterdam Conservatory in 1976. It is a department where many talented students have found their way and where people take pride in an open culture and structure. At the end of the day, it is all about passion for music in all of its manifestations. In Rotterdam, Codarts Jazz stands for a professional and creatively challenging, high-quality study programme where you learn to make choices and stand by them. The Jazz department has two study programmes: Instrumental/Vocal and Composition. The study programme Instrumental/Vocal includes the following main subjects:

piano

guitar

bass guitar drums

voice trumpet trombone

saxophone In some cases, other instrumentalists may also follow the Jazz study programme. For these students we always try to design a best fitting course of study. The programme Composition, which is provided together with the Department of Classical Music, includes the following main subject:

jazz composition Structure of the Programme All programmes within the Bachelor Music are structured according to the same model. The modular structure of the various professional roles is reflected in each of the programmes. The content of the various programme elements differ with each branch of study. This modular system allows you (on certain conditions) to switch between different study branches, thus putting together your own unique profile. At the end of this study guide you will find a visual representation of the curriculum model. The study programme Composition has a different structure. This programme will therefore be treated separately at the end of this chapter. Main Subject (professional role: musician) Your main subject is the most important element during the four years of your studies. At an individual level you are coached by one or several teachers. In this module, you work on your technical control of the instrument, repertoire knowledge and knowledge of style elements that are specific to jazz and related music styles. At the same time, right from the start of your studies, an appeal is made to your creativity and you are asked to be a maker. This element recurs in all practical lessons, besides entrepreneurship and exploring the material you are working with. In the course of your studies, the artistic aspect will become increasingly important, next to the technical aspect. What is it that you wish to convey to your audience as a musician? What choices do you make in terms of repertoire, playing

28

techniques and performance? In this process, the role of the teacher will gradually become more that of a coach. We expect you to become more and more the director of your own studies over the years, finally resulting in a final concert that you have completely organised yourself, from choosing the repertoire and the musicians to organising the production and the publicity. Ensemble Play (professional role: maker/performer) In the modules Ensemble Play you learn how to apply your own skills while collaborating with your fellow students. In the first two years, you will play in two mandatory ensembles. These may differ per section and you can find them in the descriptions of the Ensemble Play modules. In these ensembles you become familiar with your basic repertoire and you

studio facilities are used for Jazz at fixed moments in the study programme, so that you can also bring your own ideas to life in this way. In years 3 and 4 you design the module Ensemble Play yourself by deciding about line-ups and repertoire. You are assisted in this by coaches and you demonstrate your progress and present the end results with a pitch and the performance. In the course of your studies you will increasingly take the lead in your own projects and learning process. Theoretical subjects (professional role: musician) Besides these practical modules, you will also follow theoretical subjects for three years. The modules Music Theory (years 1 through 3) are an introduction to the basic principles of music theory, which you will learn to apply in practical situations in the course of your studies. For instance, you learn how to analyse and arrange works from your performance repertoire. In addition, in the modules Rhythm Education (years 1 and 2) you learn how to perform rhythmic notations and write out played rhythms. Finally, in the modules Solfège (years 1 and 2) and in the module Theory in Practice (years 2 and 3) you work on ear training: learning to recognise and notate melody and harmony. This theoretical knowledge and these skills provide you with insight into your

performance repertoire and gives you the tools to handle this repertoire in a creative manner. Practical Harmony (professional role: musician) The modules Practical Harmony support the theoretical subjects and help you to make the theory concrete for the piano or another harmonic instrument. Also, you learn how to accompany yourself and others. Piano students are provided with an alternative in the form of trio lessons, with a focus on functioning in a rhythm section. Guitar students are provided with an alternative in the form of harmony on the guitar. Portfolio (professional role: entrepreneur) The module Portfolio is a recurrent element every study year. This module encompasses various activities related to introduction, broadening and extracurricular activities. For instance, the two project weeks that take place every year. Instead of the regular study programme, special projects, workshops and master classes are organised during these weeks. The first week is a project week specific to each department, with room for projects that are related to your studies. The second project week is always a Codarts-wide project week in which all sorts of projects are organised that transcend genres and disciplines. Being confronted by contacts that are completely new to you widens your horizon. In addition, in year 1 there is the course Health and Performance, which is about how to be a professional musician in a healthy and sustainable manner. This introductory course helps you to get an idea of the professional practice and what is expected of you, early on in your studies. This helps you to make informed choices about the course of your studies. Another important module is entrepreneurship and the enterprising attitude. This course introduces all aspects of entrepreneurship in relation to your future professional practice: skills, professional attitude, leadership, imagination and creativity, opinion forming. All these things are also part of your personal artistic profiling, which will culminate in a

29

pitch in which you present yourself as a self-confident musician in your graduation year. Music Worldwide (professional role: researcher) The second-year module Music Worldwide is one you will not find at any other conservatory. The module consists of a kaleidoscope of interactive lectures on various music styles across the globe, both of the past and of the present. Also, you work on the professional role of research by doing independent additional research into one of the styles that were treated in the lectures. So, there is no mandatory subject, but you are challenged to find out more about what appeals to you and share this with your fellow students. Education (professional role: teacher) In the first two years of your studies, you have taken big steps in your development as a musician and as a maker/performer. In year 3 you will work on the professional role of teacher. This educational element consists of three modules in one semester. Education A: this module addresses all kinds of subjects that have to do with transference, such as general didactics, communication and feedback, presentational skills, group dynamics, motivation, developmental psychology, learning styles, teacher roles and core qualities. Education B: in this module you start working with your own instrument in a practical setting. You study teaching methods and transference techniques as well as current developments in the field of instrumental education, such as the use of new media. Internship: the internship module gives you the opportunity to put into practice the things you have learned. After all, teaching can only be trained in real-life situations. This is done in an internal internship in which you teach individual students or small groups of students under supervision of your internship coach. Should you have developed a taste for teaching after successfully finishing these modules, you can acquire further teaching skills by taking the minor Education. After passing this minor, you will be an officially qualified teacher for certified music schools.

Thesis (professional role: researcher) The final stages of your studies offer a fine challenge: writing a research-based thesis. You are free to choose your own subject, as long as your research contributes to your development as a self-aware musician. The preparatory module of semester 6 consists of classes in research skills and personal coaching in formulating your research design. The module is concluded with making a research pitch before a committee and fellow students. In semester 7 you actually conduct your research, supervised by your research coach. By the end of semester 7 you demonstrate your research skills by handing in your thesis and giving a

library. This means you help build an ever-growing knowledge base for both students and teachers. Profile Space The subjects mentioned above are part of all music curricula, although they may vary in content. The Profile Space offers additional modules that are unique to the Jazz programme . In years 1 and 2 these include the following mandatory profile modules.

Jazz History in this two-year history course you study the development of

-designed to enhance your auditory awareness through intensive listening.

Practical Solfège This module involves ear training in a practical, instrument-oriented manner.

Home Recording This two-year course helps to make you familiar with the recording process. You learn how to use your own equipment, such as a laptop, to make a good sounding recording or to arrange a piece in preparation for a rehearsal or performance.

In years 3 and 4, the profile space is considerably larger and also has room for individual choices. In year 3 the profile space covers 12 EC and

30

in year 4 even 24 EC. For students instrumental/voice the module Studio Production is mandatory in year 4. Study Programme Composition The study programme Composition is provided together with the department Classical Music, offering both Composition Classical Music and Composition Jazz. Both programmes have a substantial overlap with the instrumental/vocal programmes of the departments concerned. As a student of Composition you will take a large number of modules together with instrumental/vocal students of Classical Music or Jazz:

Theoretical subjects Practical Harmony Worldwide Music

Portfolio

Education Thesis Profile subjects Classical Music or Jazz

More information about these modules for Jazz can be found above

is given in the chapter Besides the subjects mentioned above, there are specific subjects for Composition. These are taught to composition students of Jazz and Classical Music together. This concerns the following modules:

Main subject (and minor)

Analysis New Media

Practical Instrumentation Optional Modules

Aesthetics and Philosophy

Main subject (professional role: musician) The main subject takes central stage throughout the four years of your studies. It is the part with the largest study load and the most study credits. Besides taking weekly lessons, you will spend much time in self-teaching. Additionally, there are a number of mandatory academic subjects, such as historical knowledge and analysis of Western composed music from 1900 to the present, theoretical knowledge and practical application of instrumentation and electronic music in theory and practice (including live electronics). Practical lessons and instrumentation (professional role: musician) The study programme Composition aims at being a forum and workplace for young composers. To this end, there are presentations of own work by both students and teachers of the Department, but also lectures and workshops, for which guests from the Netherlands as well as from abroad are invited. For these activities, all students of Composition meet every week in the practical lessons. In addition you take instrumentation classes and a number of optional subjects to broaden or deepen your studies.

ganised together with other departments within the conservatory and students are invited to take part in nationwide projects for young composers, such as those organised by the ASKO Ensemble. And then there are opportunities to work on joint projects with students from other art disciplines, such as visual art, video and film, theatre and dance. Within the department itself, taking courses or working (under supervision) in various directions such as jazz and/or film music is also possible. Optional Modules (professional role: maker) Students of Composition can make a selection from the following optional modules (each module has a maximum number of credits during the study; see study credits table).

work field projects

extra practical lessons conducting

31

new media

improvisation

instrumentation year 3 and 4

With these optional modules you can strengthen and deepen your creative capabilities. Aesthetics and Philosophy (professional role: researcher) This specific module has been added to the professional role of

have a relationship with an audience or performing musicians, but you will also find yourself confronted with questions that go deeper than what is immediately observable: the field of aesthetics and philosophy, which may not provide all the answers to all questions but can help you deal with them. After the Bachelor Music One of strong features of Codarts Rotterdam is that we coach talents who are able to find their way within the professional field of the arts, education and private enterprise. End qualifications such as creative entrepreneurship, collaboration, communication and performing are all typical of Codarts Jazz alumni. The work field of jazz musicians is very diverse and wide. Obviously, the goal is to go on stage both here and abroad with your own line-up and many alumni have done so at various national and international jazz festivals, such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Jazz International Rotterdam and the international 12 Points Festival. The profession of musician has changed greatly over the past few years and nowadays much more is required than simply having musical talent. You must be aware of the work field you are getting into and know how

to deploy and develop other talents besides musical-creative ones. Networking and making yourself noticed is part of the enterprising musician you have become. We see many musicians combine multiple disciplines to develop their own concepts, often in businesses of their own or as independent professionals.

You might then audition for the Master phase Jazz. After having concluded that, you can go on to obtain your PhD in the DocArtes PhD programme, which has been set up in collaboration with Leiden University.

2.3 Pop Every Codarts Pop student is extremely good on his or her instrument. You are able to make your instrument serve your musical expression and the form it takes, your personal sound development and performance. This means that in the first part of your studies the emphasis will be on the professional-vocational aspect in theory and practice, but making-creating-improvising and handling technology are also main elements in projects onstage and in the studio from the very beginning. During the second part of your studies, skills and creative elements are combined and, together with your personal quest for your own identity, lead to your own persona as an artist. The educational environment provides professional guidance, coaching and expertise and is also known as an environment with room for experimentation, where mistakes are allowed and where people support each other in an incredibly positive and critically constructive atmosphere. Other key words are communication, a proactive adventurous approach, working together, building your network, daring, and passion for what is your drive. The graduated Pop student has been given the chance to evolve during these years of study: who am I as an artist and how do I relate to the world? Do I want to be an autonomously creating, more conceptual musician? Do I want to be able to work fast and at a high level on commissioned work? Do I want to be in the spotlight as frontman or frontwoman or rather take up a more supporting role as a band member? Do I choose a specific style or niche in the market or do I prefer to be more broadly oriented and multi-employable? All the competencies that you find in our inspiring, albeit demanding environment are woven into the study programme that we have put together with our team of teachers and support staff. It is a package that is always under development, as all the teachers are still very active in the work field and because we believe that reality should be strongly reflected within our education. Therefore you will find many connections with the work field and the creative industry at Codarts.

Structure of the Programme All programmes within the Bachelor Music are structured according to the same model. The modular structure of the various professional roles is reflected in each of the programmes. The content of the various programme elements differ with each branch of study. This modular system allows you (on certain conditions) to switch between different study branches, thus putting together your own unique profile. At the end of this study guide you will find a visual representation of the curriculum model. The study programmes Composition and Music Theory have a different structure. Those two programmes will therefore be treated separately at the end of this chapter. Main Subject (professional role: musician) The main subject takes central stage throughout the four years of your studies. You are individually coached by one or several teachers. In this module you work on the technical mastering of your instrument, knowledge of the repertoire and of style elements that are specific to pop music and related music styles. Within the study programme Pop you can study the following main subjects:

Keyboards

Guitar

Bass Guitar

Drums

Song Writing Creative Producer

In the course of your studies, the artistic aspect will become increasingly important, next to the technical aspect. What is it that you, as a musician, wish to convey to your audience? What choices do you make in terms of repertoire, playing techniques and performance? In this process, the role of the teacher will gradually become more that of a coach.

36

The possibility of either specialising on one specific instrument or organise your individual study plan with a combination of main subjects during the course of your studies, is unique to the Music department of Codarts. However, this freedom of choice does not mean freedom of obligations and this is why our study pathway advisors will help you make the right choices. We expect you to become more and more the director of your own studies over the years, finally resulting in a final concert that you have completely organised yourself, from choosing the repertoire and the musicians to organising the production and the publicity. Ensemble Play (professional role: maker/performer) The module Ensemble Play is one of the main modules in the Pop curriculum. Here, besides developing technical skills, students specifically develop their creative and communicative skills in a setting that is oriented towards the professional practice. In the first year you are assigned to two bands (one skills band and one

in year 2 you will have more and more room to put together your own bands. In year 4 you are free to design your own band projects as you see fit and make use of band coaching at times when you think this is useful. With regard to skills, you study the various style periods of pop music. This includes playing style, playing technique, the set of instruments, production methods and presentation (including stage performance). This makes for an effective combination of theory and practice. In years 2 and 3 you study a variety of vocational themes in short series of classes. Students of Creative Producer follow their own three-year skills course with a focus on technical aspects such as mixing, mastering, metering and acoustics. Besides the skills aspect there -year course in which you work on making your own songs under supervision of a band coach. Each module is concluded with a production/project, for instance an audio production, a video clip or a live performance. Some of the projects take place in collaboration with third parties from outside the school, for example other art academies, venues and cultural

organisations. This means that you will be constantly challenged to put your own development within the perspective of the professional practice. In the course of your studies the emphasis on creating your own work becomes stronger, also in the choices you make with regard to collaborations and form. The Creative Producers develop their role of designers and/or managers of the technological elements of performances. These roles are not specifically confined to the area of one of the main instruments: producers also perform as instrumentalists, singers write songs, bass players produce, keyboard players manage technology and almost everyone sings: all possible combinations exist! Theoretical Subjects (professional role: musician) Besides these practical modules, you will also follow theoretical subjects for three years. The modules Music Theory (years 1 through 3) are an introduction to the basic principles of music theory, which you will learn to apply to practical situations in the course of your studies. For instance, you learn how to analyse and arrange works from your performance repertoire. In addition, in the modules Rhythm Education (years 1 and 2) you learn how to perform rhythmic notations and write out played rhythms. Finally, in the modules Solfège, you work on ear training: learning to recognise and notate melody and harmony. This theoretical knowledge and these skills provide you with insight into your performance repertoire and give you the tools to handle this repertoire in a creative manner. Practical Harmony (professional role: musician) The modules Practical Harmony support the theoretical subjects and help you to make the theory concrete for the piano or another harmonic instrument. Also, you learn how to accompany yourself and others. Piano students are provided with an alternative in the form of trio lessons, with a focus on functioning in a rhythm section and the keyboard player in the role of bandleader.

37

Portfolio modules (professional role: entrepreneur) The portfolio modules are a recurrent element every study year. These modules encompasses various activities related to entrepreneurship, introduction, broadening and extracurricular activities. For instance, the two project weeks that take place every year. Instead of the regular study programme, special projects, workshops and master classes are organised during these weeks. The first week is a project week specific to each department, with room for projects that are related to your studies. The second project week is always a Codarts-wide project week in which all sorts of projects are organised that transcend genres and disciplines. Being confronted by contacts that are completely new to you widens your horizon. Apart from that In year 1, there is the introductory course Health and Performance, which is about how to be a professional musician in a healthy and sustainable manner. This introductory courses gives you an idea of the professional practice and what is expected of you, early on in your studies. This helps you to make informed choices about the course of your studies. This year, first- and second-year students will start with a completely new course in entrepreneurship, which will be further elaborated in the course of their studies. This course treats all the aspects of entrepreneurship in relationship to your future professional practice: skills, professional attitude, leadership, imagination and creation, forming opinions. These elements will also be related to your personal artistic profile, which will result in a pitch in which you present yourself as a self-aware musician in your graduation year. Both third- and fourth-year students will also start new courses in entrepreneurship, especially tailored to the Pop department: In year 3: Popular Music and Society (taken at the Erasmus University), followed by an in-house second course. Music Worldwide (professional role: researcher) The second-year module Music Worldwide is one you will not find at any other conservatory. The module consists of a kaleidoscope of interactive

lectures on various music styles across the globe, both of the past and of the present. Also, you work on the professional role of research by doing independent additional research into one of the styles that were treated in the lectures. So, there is no mandatory subject, but you are challenged to find out more about what appeals to you and share this with your fellow students. Education (professional role: teacher) In the first two years of your studies, you have taken big steps in your development as a musician and as a maker/performer. In year 3 you will work on the professional role of teacher. This educational element consists of three modules in one semester. Education A: this module addresses all kinds of subjects that have to do with transference, such as general didactics, communication and feedback, presentational skills, group dynamics, motivation, developmental psychology, learning styles, teacher roles and core qualities. Education B: in this module you start working with your own instrument in a practical setting. You study teaching methods and transference techniques as well as current developments in the field of instrumental education, such as the use of new media. Internship: the internship module gives you the opportunity to put into practice the things you have learned. After all, teaching can only be trained in real-life situations. This is done in an in-house internship in which you teach individual students or small groups of students under supervision of your internship coach. Should you have developed a taste for teaching after successfully finishing these modules, you can acquire further teaching skills by taking the minor Education. After passing this minor, you will be an officially qualified teacher for certified music schools. Thesis (professional role: researcher) The final stages of your studies offer a fine challenge: writing a research-based thesis. You are free to choose your own subject, as long as your research contributes to your development as a self-aware musician. The preparatory module of semester 6 consists of classes in research skills

38

and personal coaching in formulating your research design. The module is concluded with making a research pitch before a committee and fellow students. In semester 7 you actually conduct your research, supervised by your research coach. By the end of semester 7 you demonstrate your research skills by handing in your thesis and giving a

library. This means you help build an ever-growing knowledge base for both students and teachers. Profile Space The subjects mentioned above are part of all music curricula, although they may vary in content. The Profile Space offers additional modules that are unique to the Pop programme. In years 1 and 2 these include the following mandatory profile modules.

Pop History This module runs parallel to the skills trajectory of the module Ensemble Play. Over the course of two years, you study the various style periods in pop music of the 20th and 21st century. The module uses a helicopter view to reveal the main threads and historical connections. Important events in music are addressed, interpreted and put into context.

Practical Solfège This module involves ear training in a practical, instrument-oriented manner.

Home Recording (instr/voc) or studio practical (Creative Producer) This two-year course helps to make you familiar with the recording process. You learn how to use your own equipment, such as a laptop, to make a good sounding recording or to arrange a piece in preparation for a rehearsal or performance. Students Creative Producer work on an advanced level in the module Studio Practical. Successfully passing this module results in a studio licence, which means you may work independently in the various studios at Codarts. Year 2 is dedicated to develop your skills in studio technique in more depth.

In years 3 and 4, the profile space is considerably larger and also has room for individual choices. In year 3 the profile space covers 12 EC and in year 4 even 24 EC. For students instrumental/voice the module Studio Production is mandatory in year 4. After Codarts Our alumni end up in a great variety of places. There are examples of just about anything you yourself may imagine in the dream you have when you start studying at an institute such as ours. Being a band member, frontman or frontwoman, writer or producer of a successful internationally touring band (Chef Special, Epica, Adlicious). Being a successful solo artist or singer/songwriter (Tessa Douwstra, Michiel Prins, Sharon Doorson). An underground producer building the sound of tomorrow, while also being a ghost writer for a currently successful DJ or musician in an up-and-coming band (Kovacs, Han Solo). Being a background vocalist with Anouk, Trijntje and many others while steadily working on your solo career (Shirma Rouse). Working as an instrumentalist in a successful environment such as with Eefje de Visser, Kyteman or Selah Sue. Initiating your own educational environment (either online or in practice) as an independent professional or working within a traditional music school. Our alumni are hard at work everywhere, combining the professional practices of performing, creating and independent teaching while self-confidently building their future. This self-confidence also stems from the realisation that developments in our modern society can cause rapid change. Our alumni are aware of this and are able to anticipate those changes. In fact, what we do is facilitate students to become their own agents of future change in their professional field, each according to his or her ability.

Then you may audition for the Master study programme Pop. It is specifically this field where research and creativity meet and a mostly hybrid environment of performing-making-producing-doing business becomes visible.

2.4 World music In 1978, Codarts was the first conservatory outside the United States to have a study programme Jazz, thereby opening its doors for other genres than Western classical music. In 1985, Codarts added the study of Flamenco Guitar, even before it was possible to take this study in Spain itself, and two years later the department for North Indian classical music was founded. The department of World Music was formed in 1989 with the section Latin, which was then extended with Argentine Tango (1993) and Turkish/Anatolian Music (2000). Through the years, Codarts World Music has evolved into a centre of expertise for these music genres. Codarts Music is the only music institute in the world where students

These pure traditions can also be studied in their countries of origin, of course, but what makes Codarts World Music so unique is their setting within an international context. This international context consists of both the diversity of the music genres on offer and the diversity in nationalities of both students and teachers. The study programme World Music has five branches:

Flamenco Guitar

Indian Music (North Indian classical music and Indian light music)

Latin (this includes Caribbean and Brazilian traditions)

Argentine Tango Turkish Music (Anatolian and Ottoman music)

Increasingly, connections are made between music styles, not only within the World Music department itself, but also with Pop, Jazz and Classical Music. For example, the wind players from the Jazz section play in salsa and Brazilian ensembles; there is a Bollywood orchestra in which Pop, Jazz and World Music students play together with teachers; there is an ensemble for Argentine folklore in which Tango and Latin students

work together; and there is an Ottoman ensemble in which students of Composition of Classical Music and Bachelor and Master students of World Music and Classical Music play together. Many of the programmes have international guest teachers who give lessons and master classes during one or several weeks throughout the year. At such times, the regular roster is adapted to enable all students to profit from the presence of these guest teachers. Our students come from all corners of the world, bringing their own cultural baggage with them. Codarts invites you to look for the connections between the musical traditions that are taught here and your own musical roots. This will not only enrich your own journey, but our education as well. Structure of the Programme All programmes within the Bachelor Music are structured according to the same model. The modular structure of the various professional roles is reflected in each of the programmes. The content of the various programme elements differ with each branch of study. This modular system allows you (on certain conditions) to switch between different study branches, thus putting together your own unique profile. At the end of this study guide you will find a visual representation of the curriculum model. Main Subject (professional role: musician) Your main subject is the most important element during the four years of your studies. At an individual level you are coached by one or several teachers. In this module, you work on your technical control of the instrument, repertoire knowledge and knowledge of style elements that are specific to the music tradition you have chosen to study. In the course of your studies, the artistic aspect will become increasingly important, next to the technical aspect. What is it that you, as a musician, wish to convey to your audience? What choices do you make in terms of repertoire, playing techniques and performance? In this process, the role of the teacher will gradually become more that of a coach. Also, as your studies progress, you will have more freedom in your choice of teachers to work with. We expect you to become more and more the director of

44

your own studies over the years, finally resulting in a final concert that you have completely organised yourself, from choosing the repertoire and the musicians to organising the production and the publicity. Within the department of World Music you can take the following main subjects: Flamenco Guitar

Indian music Bansuri, tabla, voice dhrupad, voice khayal, sitar, violin, sarangi

Latin Piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums/ percussion, voice, flute and other wind instruments

Tango Piano, bandoneón, guitar, double bass, violin, voice

Turkish music

Ensemble Play (professional role: maker/performer) In the modules Ensemble Play you learn how to apply your own skills while collaborating with your fellow students. Throughout your entire studies you play in two ensembles. In the first two years, you will play in mandatory ensembles. These may differ per section and you can find them in the descriptions of the Ensemble Play modules. In these ensembles you become familiar with your basic repertoire and you learn what it is like to function in an ensemble or orchestra. Increasingly, you will take on a leading role in these ensembles. You will find yourself more often in the role of ensemble leader, arranger and maker and you are expected to contribute to the repertoire and the arrangements. Starting in the third year, and sometimes even sooner, there is a possibility to play in the so-called performing ensembles. These ensembles perform frequently both within Codarts and at outside venues. In addition, in your final year, you may organise your own ensemble projects, for instance to perform with at your graduation

exam (and perhaps also after graduating). The various ensemble teachers are available to coach your projects. Theoretical Subjects (professional role: musician) Besides these practical modules, you will also follow theoretical subjects for three years. The modules Music Theory (years 1 through 3) are an introduction to the basic principles of music theory, which you will learn to apply to practical situations in the course of your studies. For instance, you learn how to analyse and arrange works from your performance repertoire. In addition, in the modules Rhythm Education (years 1 and 2) you learn about the building blocks of various rhythmic traditions and how to perform rhythmic notations and write out played rhythms.. This theoretical knowledge and these skills provide you with insight into your performance repertoire and give you the tools to handle this repertoire in a creative manner. Practical Harmony (professional role: musician) The modules Practical Harmony support the theoretical subjects and help you to make the theory concrete for the piano or another harmonic instrument. Also, you learn how to accompany yourself and others. Students who already play a harmonic instrument (piano or guitar) are provided with an alternative to learn how to apply their harmonic knowledge on a higher level. What these alternatives are, can be found in the module descriptions of the modules Practical Harmony. Portfolio modules (professional role: entrepreneur) The portfolio modules are a recurrent element every study year. They encompass various activities related to entrepreneurship, introduction, broadening and extracurricular activities. For instance, the two project weeks that take place every year. Instead of the regular study programme, special projects, workshops and master classes are organised during these weeks. The first week is a project week specific to each department, with room for projects that are related to your studies. The second project week is always a Codarts-wide project week in which all sorts of projects are organised that

45

transcend genres and disciplines. Being confronted by contacts that are completely new to you widens your horizon. Apart from that there are introductory courses in various aspects of art as profession. In year 1, there is the Health and Performance Day, which is about how to be a professional musician in a healthy and sustainable manner. In year 2, there is an introduction to education to show you the first steps in the professional role of teacher. These introductory courses help you to get an idea of the professional practice and what is expected of you, early on in your studies. This helps you to make informed choices about the course of your studies. This year, first- and second-year students will start with a completely new course in entrepreneurship, which will be further elaborated in the course of their studies. This course treats all the aspects of entrepreneurship in relationship to your future professional practice: skills, professional attitude, leadership, imagination and creation, forming opinions. These elements will also be related to your personal artistic profile, which will result in a pitch in which you present yourself as a self-aware musician in your graduation year. Music Worldwide (professional role: researcher) The second-year module Music Worldwide is one you will not find at any other conservatory. The module consists of a kaleidoscope of interactive lectures on various music styles across the globe, both of the past and of the present. Also, you work on the professional role of research by doing independent additional research into one of the styles that were treated in the lectures. So, there is no mandatory subject, but you are challenged to find out more about what appeals to you and share this with your fellow students. Education (professional role: teacher) In the first two years of your studies, you have taken big steps in your development as a musician and as a maker/performer. In year 3 you will work on the professional role of teacher. This educational element consists of three modules in one semester.

Education A: this module addresses all kinds of subjects that have to do with transference, such as general didactics, communication and feedback, presentational skills, group dynamics, motivation, developmental psychology, learning styles, teacher roles and core qualities. Education B: in this module you start working with your own instrument in a practical setting. You study teaching methods and transference techniques as well as current developments in the field of instrumental education, such as the use of new media. Internship: the internship module gives you the opportunity to put into practice the things you have learned. After all, teaching can only be trained in real-life situations. This is done in an in-house internship in which you teach individual students or small groups of students under supervision of your internship coach. Should you have developed a taste for teaching after successfully finishing these modules, you can acquire further teaching skills by taking the minor Education. After passing this minor, you will be an officially qualified teacher for certified music schools. Thesis (professional role: researcher) The final stages of your studies offer a fine challenge: writing a research-based thesis. You are free to choose your own subject, as long as your research contributes to your development as a self-aware musician. The preparatory module of semester 6 consists of classes in research skills and personal coaching in formulating your research design. The module is concluded with giving a research pitch before a committee and fellow students. In semester 7 you actually conduct your research, supervised by your research coach. By the end of semester 7 you demonstrate your research skills by handing in your thesis and giving a public

means you help build an ever-growing knowledge base for both students and teachers. Profile Space The subjects mentioned above are part of all World Music curricula and their content reflects the five different specialisations. The profile space

46

offers subjects that are unique to your specific specialisation. These are the subjects that define your graduation profile. In years 1 and 2, these include the mandatory profile modules, such as genre specific theory modules and history modules. Below is an overview of the genre specific modules per specialisation.

Year 1 (9 EC) Year 2 (6 EC) Flamenco Flamenco history

In years 3 and 4, the profile space is considerably larger and also has room for individual choices. In year 3 the profile space covers 12 EC and in year 4 even 24 EC. Depending on the programme in which you wish to graduate there may be an extra number of mandatory profile modules. The remaining profile space can be used to take minors and optional subjects. Codarts has a wide range of minors, both theoretical and practice-oriented ones, which gives you the opportunity to study the various professional roles in more depth. At the end of each academic year, the third- and fourth-year students-to-be are invited to sign up for one or more minors. Some minors take place during only one semester, while others may continue throughout the year. There are light minors of 6 EC and more substantial ones of 12 EC, so make sure that you will earn enough points in your profile space when signing up for minors.

After Codarts The World Music department has a very international student and teacher population, which also means interesting international career possibilities. Alumni form ensembles with international musicians. The level of the graduates is high and in many cases this means the possibility to take part in, for instance, the Tango scene in Buenos Aires or the Flamenco world in Spain. No wonder that alumni of World Music can be found all over the world. Saskia de Haas once studied cello within the study programme North Indian Classical Music. Nowadays, she lives in New Delhi where she teaches music at schools and gives concerts. In Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro and Spain too you will find successful alumni from the World Music department at Codarts. And in the Netherlands too, of course. Lilian Viera from Brazil studied Latin music at Codarts World Music and she is now a successful singer in the Netherlands with her Brazilian band Zuco 103. A growing number of music schools offer world music. Codarts alumni find their way as teachers at these music schools, where they are appreciated for their knowledge and their passion for the profession. Most alumni have a hybrid practice: teaching, performing, studio work, sometimes doing journalistic work and also continuing the study of their chosen genre.

the Master programme at Codarts. After having concluded that, you can go on to obtain your PhD in the DocArtes PhD programme, which has been set up in collaboration with Leiden University (World Music Chair).

3.5 Student Life

You will be studying at Codarts, starting a brand-new chapter. A new study, a new town, the start of a new stage in your life. This means an exciting, fun, challenging but not always easy journey over sometimes bumpy roads. Both in preparing for and during your studies, situations may arise about which you have questions. For instance, practical matters such as

arranging for somewhere to live, study financing, applying for a residence permit or opening a bank account. Also, studying at a new school and perhaps even in another country with different people, a different language and different habits can be changes that require some getting used to. Or, in the course of your studies, you may be faced with injuries, illness or stress or with unexpected delays in your study progress. As an artist you are under great pressure to perform. You think about how to bring out the best in yourself, how to achieve your goals and hang on to your dreams. Codarts expects initiative and independence from you, so it is only natural that you have questions now and then. That is why Student Life is there for you. Student Life is the central service point for all Codarts students for all questions that do not specifically have to do with education. Even before you start your studies, this is the place for any questions having to do with preparing for your studies and life in Rotterdam. During your studies you can always call on us as well. Discretion and confidentiality are important aspects in how Student Life operates. Student Life offers the following services:

Student Counselling The first place to go to for students with a functional impediment, students experiencing (possible) study delay due to special circumstances or financial problems, students who wish to interrupt or prematurely end their studies and for all questions about housing and insurance.

Study Pathway Advice (SLB)

For all issues pertaining to study progress and structure of your study programme.

International Office To help international students apply for a residence permit,

Performing Arts Health Centre A team of internal and external staff members who can instruct, advise and coach you in subjects regarding injuries and taxation, performance improvement, food and lifestyle.

Below is additional information about the various facilities and where to find them. Student Counselling The student counsellor looks after the interests of students at Codarts and is the intermediary figure for students with a functional impediment or chronic disease. You can also go to the counsellor with questions or problems involving regulations and legal provisions. If your studies are not really going well and you are in danger of incurring delay, the student counsellor may help you limit the possible consequences (including financial ones). At your request and together with the student counsellor you can then look for solutions to improve your functioning with regard to your studies. Also, if you would like to speak privately and confidentially with someone from outside your study programme, the student counsellor is there for you. The student counsellor is well-informed of all general laws and regulations and of the regulations and facilities of Codarts, and can give you the necessary information or refer you to others. Think of issues around study financing, complaints and appeal procedures (in case of complaints of conflicts). The student counsellor can also refer you to external specialist help in matters regarding legal, financial or social problems that interfere with your study progress. Contact the student counsellor in any of the following cases:

Special Circumstances that Interfere with Your Studies If you are unable to study for a while or for an extended period or are in danger of incurring delay due to special circumstances such as illness, family situation, a handicap or other personal reasons, you may appeal to a number of services and provisions. Together with the student counsellor you will discuss how to limit any delays as much as possible or how to make up for any delays already incurred. By making solid arrangements about your study progress together, we can prevent you from incurring unnecessary extra delays or even getting a negative binding study advice. To make use of these arrangements, you must report your special circumstances as timely as possible. Even if they have not led to a study delay yet, it is still advisable to report them to the counsellor. Studying with a Functional Impediment

with a functional impediment can benefit from various facilities and services, such as extra coaching, extra examination time, spreading of evaluations, et cetera. To be eligible for these provisions you need to contact the student counsellor at the start of your studies or at the moment during your studies when a functional impediment occurs. Financial Problems In exceptional cases Codarts can provide students with financial support in the form of a loan for paying your tuition fee or with a contribution from the Profiling Fund or Codarts Instrument Fund. The student counsellor can tell you if you are eligible for this type of support and how to apply for it. The Help Fund Codarts has a fund that students may apply to in case of unforeseen and acute needs. Students may file an application themselves via email address: help@codarts.nl. A committee will consider the application in close consultation with the student counsellor and decide about awarding a

67

once-only sum of money. In its decision, the committee will also look at whether the student may be eligible for other regular, already existing, services. All applications are treated confidentially and there is no possibility to

arded sum. Interrupting or Prematurely Ending Your Studies Should you consider to end your studies before graduating, for instance because you have an injury or because the education does not meet your expectations, we ask you to report this to the student counsellor. In a so-the reasons for your de-registering. In case you wish to interrupt your studies temporarily, you can discuss the requirements for resuming your studies at a later time with the student counsellor. Housing

He or she can provide you with information about the content of the study programme: what subjects do you study and what is expected of you?

How is the programme structured: when do you take what classes? How and where do you check the number of study credit points you have acquired (in Osiris)? And which regulations within Codarts (OER, BSA, et cetera) may become relevant for you? When do you first meet your SLB? At the start of the study year, an SLB will be assigned to you. During the first year, you will have at least three meetings with your SLB. During the second, third and fourth year, there will be at least two meetings. In these mandatory consultations the results you have obtained will be discussed, as well as how you study, how you handle feedback, how you apply time management and how you handle disappointments and successes. In short, you discuss how you take responsibility for your studies. If necessary, the SLB will advise you in taking decisions about the content and progress of your studies. Where do you find your SLB? The name of your LSB is listed on your study roster. He or she will contact you for a first meeting via Codarts email. Of course you can also make an appointment on your own initiative. If you wish to do so, it is convenient if you inform the SLB about the free moments in your study roster.

Hearing Protection Hearing/hearing protection is one of the most important subjects for the Codarts Performing Arts Health Centre. Well-functioning hearing is of the utmost importance to music students and teachers if they wish to become, be and especially remain active in the professional field of music. At the same time, the profession brings with it above-average risks with regard to the proper functioning of our hearing. Knowledge of how the ear works, of the risks of hearing damage and of preventive measures is therefore quite important. For a number of years now, Codarts, in collaboration with Earproof, have been providing information and advice about hearing and hearing protection by handing out information brochures and organising lectures, workshops, et cetera. And also by offering hearing tests and hearing protection devices, varying from simple earplugs in the dispensers at the various Codarts locations to sessions where musicians are fitted with special, made-to-measure earplugs. Contact The dates on which students can contact the health Centre for information and/or hearing tests will be announced via your Codarts email and on the intranet under Student Life. Appointments can be made www.earprof.com Health Insurance In case you need extensive treatment you will be referred to the external network of (para)medics and specialists. Make sure you have a good supplementary health insurance that covers at least medical specialists, medical examinations such as MRI and other scans, X-rays and (sport)physiotherapy treatments.

6. Together with your department manager you draw up a Learning

Agreement (the subjects you have chosen), which means you first

can compare this with the Codarts curriculum and, together with

the manager, you decide which subject to take and which, if any, Codarts subjects still remain to be taken.

month for internships.

3.10 Codarts Agency Codarts receives requests by third parties for student performances almost on a daily basis. Codarts believes it is important for students to gain practical experience, as it offers them a chance to be already active as a performing artist during their studies, gain experience of the

74

demands of the profession, reflect on their profile as an artist and how to market themselves. These performances vary from livening up an opening or reception to larger projects such as taking part in special events. The Codarts Agency acts as an intermediary between this external demand and what Codarts can offer. The larger events are organised in collaboration with the various departments. For smaller events the Codarts agency brings the third party in direct contact with Codarts students. The students then negotiate their own arrangements about the conditions. Codarts considers it a privilege to be asked for performances outside the institute. Through these performances, which are arranged via the Agency, Codarts expresses its social commitment. Besides charging costs and a modest compensation for students, Codarts charges a sum to be donated to two supporting study funds that are accessible to all students. In approaching the students the Agency makes use of Agents. They are students of the various academies who take it upon themselves to be intermediaries. If you would like to present yourself to external clients via the Codarts Agency, please register with Monica van Steen by sending a presentable photo and promotional text of your ensemble at mvansteen@codarts.nl

3.11 Quality Assurance and Options for Participation As a student you have various options for participation. Codarts emphatically invites you to make use of these options, as your input is a valuable contribution to us and helps us to continue to improve our organisation.

Representative Advisory Council (MR)

platform. The MR consists of delegates elected by the students and the staff. It interests of students, teachers and educational support staff. In addition, the MR may advice the CvB on its own initiave about issues that are important to Codarts. Elections for the council are held every two years and all students are eligible. Chapter 10 of the Law on Higher Education (WHW) and the MR Regulation define the tasks and competences of the MR. Study Committee (OC) The study committee (OC) and has the right of approval in the Education and Examination Regulation (OER). Also, the OC can give both solicited and unsolicited advice to the management about subjects that concern the education. The OC consists of representatives of students and teachers. There are two OCs: one for the cluster Music and one for the cluster Performing Arts (Circus, Dance, Dance in Education, Arts Therapy, and Music Theatre). In both MR and OC, the language in meetings and documents can be Dutch and/or English, but students from outside the Netherlands are expected to be able to read documents in Dutch. Student Panels Each study programme/department has its own student panel. This panel meets on a regular basis with the department management to discuss all kinds of matters that are of concern to students: rostering and communication, the curriculum, the facilities, et cetera. The results of the education evaluations and the National Students Enquiry are also discussed in these panels. Of course the panels themselves can also place issues on the agenda and make suggestions for improvements within the study programme/Department.

75

Education Evaluations and the National Students Enquiry It is important to Codarts to know how the students think about the

students are invited to take part in digital evaluations on a regular basis:

on average twice a year via EvaSys, to evaluate semester + modules + associated teachers, special projects and/or facilities

every two years via the National Students Enquiry (NSE): a nationwide survey of student satisfaction with the education and facilities at the institute

Based on the results of this type of evaluation improvements will be initiated where necessary. This completely revised study guide is an example of this!

3.12 Complaints There may be occasions for a student to file a complaint. Complaints can be filed in various ways, depending on their nature. Complaints about practical issues:

for complaints about practical issues, for instance about facilities and services, you can contact STIP or email them directly at stip@codrats.nl

for question about or problems with the roster, please contact the Scheduling Office. They are available on work days between 10.00 and 13.00 and can be reached at roosterbureau@codarts.nl

Such complaints may include concerns about the time limits for publication of exam dates, the announcement of exam results, and the assessment methods as defined in the module descriptions and exam plans. Complaints can only be filed in writing via examencommissie@codarts.nl

Complaint for the Complaints Department

The full CoBEx regulations are available on the intranet under bestuur/regelingen. A notice of appeal can only be submitted in writing via klachtenloket@codarts.nl. Undesirable Behaviour For complaints with regard to undesirable behaviour you may turn to one of the confidential advisers and/or file a formal complaint with the complaints committee for undesirable behaviour. Complaints can only be submitted in writing via klachtenloket@codarts.nl. Codarts regards the following behaviour as undesirable:

sexual intimidation: unwanted sexual advances, asking for sexual favours or any other verbal, non-verbal, written or physical behaviour of a sexual nature that is considered an unjustified

accused knew or at least should have understood.

discriminating behaviour: behaviour by which equal cases are not treated equally on the basis of religion, belief, political

76

orientation, race, sex, sexual orientation, physical or mental handicaps or any other ground.

aggression/violence/bullying: incidents in which plaintive is harassed, threatened or attacked either psychologically or physically.

Confidential Adviser for Undesirable Behaviour The confidential adviser can be trusted with experiences of having been treated in an unpleasant manner, in personal contacts or in communication. These can be any experiences that have hurt your feelings and were aimed at or resulted in you no longer feeling safe at school. This may concern unwanted intimacy, bullying, (sexual) intimidation, discrimination, aggression, or violence. You define what is hurtful to you and who overstepped your boundaries, because you have a right to a safe educational environment. Procedure The confidential adviser serves as a soundboard, giving you all the space you need to express your experience and emotions. Everything you say is treated as confidential. The confidential adviser discusses with you how to proceed and what options you have. It is also okay to just let off steam and not take it any further. Together, you will look at the pros and cons of various solutions. The adviser will help you make the right choices, coaches you throughout the process and supports you, while you remain in charge at all times. Confidential advisers reports to the CvB twice a year. This allows the CvB to take policy measures if needed. These reports do not include any personal information of any kind, never mention individual cases, and the information that is given can never lead to individuals. This safeguards confidentiality. Codarts has two in-house confidential advisers and one external one. In-house:

4.17 Lending Instruments and Equipment Lending Instruments In special cases Codarts lends out instruments to students. You can apply for a loan instrument via STIP. This must be done no later than two weeks before the intended loan date and you must submit a written permission from your teacher to STIP. If it concerns instruments for internship classes you need written permission from Ruud Spetter. Codarts has only a limited number of instruments available for lending, so there is no guarantee of availability. Lending Equipment Small equipment (microphones, cables, et cetera) is available from: STIP Kruisplein STIP Lite WMDC Reception Circus Fenixloods Please note that the STIP reception desk closes at 17.00 and that no equipment can be loaned after this time. Larger equipment (personal amplification systems, amplifiers, drum kits) is not lent out for internal use. A number of rooms have been equipped with amplifiers/voice application systems/complete backlines. No amplifiers may be used outside of these rooms, unless they are placed there by Codarts employees for special purposes. Lending out equipment for external aims is only possible when the activity is clearly associated with Codarts. Applications for a loan of equipment must be made no later than two weeks before the intended loan date at STIP, STIP Lite or the Circus service desk. The students must arrange for transportation of the equipment to the external location themselves.

4.18 Piano Management With 48 grand pianos and 44 upright pianos Codarts has a valuable inventory that needs to be protected. Pianos are heavy but vulnerable instruments. The piano has more than 200 strings and nearly 1000

moving parts. Even tiny deviations of just millimetres inside the mechanism can have drastic consequences for the performance level. We therefore ask you to study the following guidelines for an optimal maintenance of the instruments. Your help is essential in obtaining the best results. 1) Do not place any small objects on the piano that may fall into it,

such as paperclips, pencils, et cetera. These can seriously damage the insides of the piano.

2) Do not place any objects holding liquids (such as cups, bottles, et

cetera) or food on or near the piano. Spilled liquids will harm the instrument and can lead to irreparable damage.

3) Keep the piano away from heating elements and close the windows

to prevent condensation. By default, all pianos are placed at a safe distance from windows and radiators. Please do not move them from their current position.

4) Do not drag the piano stool across the floor, but lift it if you wish to

move it. This prevents damage to its legs. 5) Do not place any instruments on top of the piano. 6) If you are the last person to leave the room, please close the piano

completely (lower the lid and lock it with the key). This prevents dust from falling into the mechanism. Dust is one of the greatest threats to the piano. If there is a dust cover in the room (rooms 3.14, 3.18, 4.07, 4.19, 5.22 and 6.35), then placed this over the piano.

Piano Action List Let us join forces in improving the situation of the pianos and establish a direct line of communication. In each room there are two documents. The first is a list of tips for correct maintenance of the pianos and the second one is a list of tuning appointments.

82

We are aware of the fact that students and teachers use the pianos every day and so they are the first persons to know of any deficiencies. Please send an email to stip@codarts.nl if you encounter any of the following problems or for any other comments regarding the pianos: 1) broken strings 2) problems with the pedals or individual keys 3) accidents, such as spilled liquids or objects that have fallen inside the

piano. Please report such accidents immediately to STIP. 4) the heating or windows of the room are not functioning properly. 5) the piano stool is broken, makes a strange sound or is missing from

the room. Always include in your report the room number and piano it concerns.

Regular repairs and restorations are part of a fixed planning. So when the piano makes a metallic sound, the issue will be addressed according to the fixed maintenance plan. Always report all incidents to STIP! stip@codarts.nl
