Course Purpose, Goals, and Tasks

The purpose of the Bachelor piano major course is to prepare the students to be
internationally competent, enabling them to work as a professional pianist in the
music world and music business upon graduation. Furthermore, the goal of the
Bachelor 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 touch, understanding of
tempo, rhythm and phrasing, mastering the spectrum and shades of dynamics,
learning intricacies of sound color, as well as preparing each student to be competent
in his/her own desired professional direction – such as soloist, collaborator, chamber
musician, pedagogue or freelance musician. Special emphasis is placed on technical
proficiency training.
