Content

“Spatial Sonorities” Music Creation and Performance in Practice Project is divided into two parts. The first part of the project promotes music learning through innovative ensemble - e-Orch with tailor–made repertoires for tablet instruments. Through a series of trainings and performances, students will be equipped with key elements of music including pitch, rhythm, phrasing, harmony, tonality, form, texture, etc. The second part focuses on music creation in which students will learn how to apply music elements including contrast, coherence, development and expression and create their music compositions with creativity. To enrich the music performance experience, students will have the opportunity to play with professional instrumentalists in the rehearsals and finale performance.
