Content

Electro-Kaleidoscope e-Orch Music Creation and Performance in Practice Project, is divided into two parts. The first part of the course promotes music learning through innovative ensemble - e-Orch with tailor–made classic or different types of music arrangements. Students will be trained with high accuracy in pitch and rhythm, idiomatic musical shaping, vivid communication of character and style while at the same time understanding the music concept through performance and rehearsal. The second part of the course focuses more on music creation in which students will learn various composition techniques through improvisation, music games and activities. Students will work in groups to co-create a new composition for e-Orch with inspiration from works by the maestros. The expected creative product would be a variation of a famous melody or an original composition with influence by a great composer which will be performed by the creators during the finale performance cum exhibition.

Implementation

The project will last for 11 months, from September 2018 to July 2019, and will be implemented in three phases:
