Bassoon Course – Level II

Educational objectives

At the end of the studies related to the Level II Academic Diploma Course in Bassoon, students must have acquired the advanced level knowledge of the techniques and the specific skills to enable them to concretely fulfil their artistic ideas. To this end, particular emphasis will be placed on the study of the instrument’s most representative repertoire – including ensembles – and related performance practices, also with the aim of developing the student’s ability to interact within differently composed musical groups. These objectives are to be achieved also by favouring the development of the perceptive capacity of hearing and memorisation and with the acquisition of specific knowledge of the organisational, compositional and analytical models of music and their interaction. Specific care must be devoted to the acquisition of appropriate postural and emotional control techniques. At the end of the two-year course, students must have acquired an in-depth knowledge of the stylistic, historical and general aesthetic aspects related to their specific address. It is also an educational objective of the course to acquire adequate skills in the field of computer music as well as those related to a second European Community language.
