Learning outcomes
Students develop primarily in the field of professional competence, specifically for Songwriting. The assignments can be seen as "finger exercises" in which people train in a wide variety of contexts in writing songs. Students also develop a historical understanding of songwriting, gain insight into song structures, song text writing, their own writing process and start developing their own style.
Content
The student is introduced to very diverse musical contexts that are relevant to songwriting. As a result, every student also comes into contact with contexts and styles that may be less familiar to him / her. Overarching non-style bound aspects such as form / song structure, originality, expressiveness but also entrepreneurial aspects such as commissioned work are discussed in all blocks and are thus highlighted from various contexts. The assignments are generally clearly defined and / or consist of partial assignments, so that the assignment can focus on specific aspects.
