Study Objectives:

The aim of study in this department is to achieve interpretive mastery of the entire set of instruments. There is a great number of them, from individual quite challenging devices, membranophonic, idiophonic, melodic, ethnic to new multi-percussion instruments. Many have arisen in the second half of the last century through the needs of composers for multiple types of sounds, colors and rhythms mastered by a single player.

Students should be able to perform solo and chamber works and lead a group of drummers, to be a soloists of a symphony orchestra.

Mode of delivery:

Regular individual consultations.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

No prerequisites.

Recommended optional programme components

Concert attendances and listenings to music for percussion.

Course contents:

Broadening technical skills on individual sets of percussion instruments, particularly typani and small drums. Building a repertoire of solo compositions for these and other percussion instruments, primarily multi-percussion.

A basic emphasis is placed on interpretation of 20th century music bringing to percussion instruments qualitatively, completely new sound potential, expression resources and playing techniques. Finally, 20th century music presents new challenges for intellectual approaches to composition interpretation ideas and their realization.
