Objectives
The objective of the training is to develop the musician’s skills around 4 assessable axes:
Technicality
Artistic maturity
Stylistic awareness
General behaviour within a musical group
Evaluation
Evaluation methods: the musician is monitored by the teaching team throughout the training session. A detailed evaluation form is given to the student at the end of the session.
The evaluation of the acquired knowledge is based on the examination of 4 criteria: technicality, stylistic awareness, artistic maturity and general behaviour. This evaluation is carried out at the end of each training session. At the end of the course, the trainee receives a certificate of attendance (on request) mentioning the number of hours of training completed and a pedagogical evaluation.
Accessibility
The student who would have difficulties due to a situation of disability, even slight, even temporary, is kindly requested to consult the disability referent (zenoni@abbayeauxdames.org) when registering, in order to allow the establishment of an adapted training plan.
