UNDERGRADUATE STUDY PROGRAMME OF SOLO SINGING

The general outcomes of the bachelor of solo singing are seen in competences (knowledge, skills and capacities of transferring professional and artistic insights and results, and performing skills) as expected from other reproductive artists and music pedagogues. 

The specific outcomes are divided into the ones related to professional courses and the ones related to music theory courses. Additional competences for teaching can be acquired through the Education Package courses (examinations to be passed).  The outcomes of optional courses supplement and follow the outcomes of compulsory courses.

Bachelors will acquire proficiency in music actively and passively; they will be competent to independently prepare, arrange and perform pieces – that is, vocal sections from different historical and style-periods. Every student, music teacher- and pedagogue-to-be, but also reproductive vocal musician, will acquire knowledge and reach the peak of his/her music-artistic achievements with the help of individual and group practicing.

After the four-year study, the student will be able to: 

• interpret and analyze solo, chamber and choir pieces that are different in terms of their history and style
