Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Classes will have two moments: one practical and another theoretical. At first, it is intended to provide the students with several experiments towards the development of their musicality and their artistic and musical thought. In the second, it is intended to provide the theoretical foundation of the most practical activities, that is, from practice to theory. There will be individual and group work with class presentation/participation. We will attempt to do some work outs, visiting some cultural institutions foreseeing the knowledge, in loco, of good music practice/projects. The evaluation will include several moments: continuous -presence, creativity, participation and work originality and class performance (40%); an individual practical work (10%); a practical group work (15%) and a group work on one of the matters of the program, presented and discussed in class context in articulation with the practical activities of those (35%).
