Specialisation in Music Production & Management

The profile of the student who accesses studies in the specialisation of production and management is that of a student who knows styles, historical periods and representative musical formations and who is able to recognise habitual forms, both auditively and through a score.

They must also know how to build their own strategies to organise their work and in order to overcome challenges of an academic or practical nature. Likewise, they must be able to express artistic opinions and assessments in a respectful and coherent manner.

They must also be able to organise the sequence of the development of projects. In addition, they must be able to organise and prepare an oral defence on issues related to musical events or the management of cultural policies around music, and show skills for working individually and in teams.

SYLLABUS

The syllabus of the Bachelor of Music consists of 4 academic courses of 60 ECTS credits each, distributed across subjects of different categories:

• Basic training subjects: These are subjects of culture, thought, history, language and techniques of music.
• Compulsory specialisation subjects: They are subjects of instrument or voice, complementary instrumental training, ensemble music, improvisation, composition, pedagogy,  production and management.
• Optional subjects: They complement the training with a range of different subjects.
• Final Project (TFG).

The assignment of credits for each subject includes the hours corresponding to the academic classes, hours of study, the accomplishment of works, practices, projects and the preparation of examinations and evaluation tests.

FINAL PROJECT (TFG)

In order to obtain a Bachelor Degree in Music, it is necessary to prepare and publicly defend a final work, which is a direct outcome of what has been learned. This is the writing of a project with a set of explanations, theories, ideas or reasoning on a specific subject that should even more be put into practice in the form of a concert or performance key.

The student must demonstrate the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and know how to communicate conclusions, knowledge and theories on which it is based. The TFG must communicate the results or conclusions reached in the study of a subject in an organised, formal, clear and precise way, as well as the methodology used, the process followed, the documents consulted etc. In short, it is a question of transmitting that is most important.
