Course Purpose, Goals, and Tasks

The purpose of the Bachelor violin major course is to prepare the students to be
internationally competent, enabling them to work as a professional violinist in the
music world and music business upon graduation. Furthermore the goal of the
Bachlor studies is to prepare students at a high level for further Master studies. The
goals are set individually for each student, which in turn covers all repertoire and
performance habits that are necessary to master all classical music styles, techniques,
musical characters, dynamics, articulations. Furthermore, the course is designed to
further the artistry of each individual student, focusing on bringing the student to
international standards particularly in regard to precision of intonation, understanding
of tempo, rhythm and phrasing, mastering the spectrum and shades of dynamic,
learning intricacies of sound color, as well as preparing each student to be competent
in his/her own desired professional direction – such as orchestra, chamber music,
pedagogy or freelance musician. Special emphasis is placed on technical proficiency
training.
