One of the changes that I have always had in mind for the Theory of Music career, is that all subjects are given the same importance, in terms of califications and academic load. In this way, other interests could be evidenced in the students and guide them towards other professional opportunities.
As for the curriculum, I have 7 or 8 subjects per semester, I currently have 7, they are: Musical Language, Keyboard Workshop, Music-culture and society, Polyphony, Vocal Workshop, Guitar Workshop and English. These subjects all correspond to the semester number 4 of the career.
Normally the workload is quite heavy, it includes a lot of work and concentration at a theoretical and practical level. The duration of the complete career is 12 semesters, 8 semesters of degree and 4 professional specialization (choral director or Professor specialized in general theory of music). Many of the students who enter the program, only decide to finish with the degree, it is under the percentage that specializes.
As for the faculty where we study, I think it is a building with few possibilities to share with the other students of the other programs, we only have a small terrace of a few meters as a resting place. I think our building needs remodeling, in some places it looks very damaged by the passage of time and lacks more modern and technological resources like those in other faculties of the university.
Actually, the use of technology in our faculty is only used in the library, which does not mean that it is a modern library, but in that place a good use of computers, Internet access, etc. is made.
Finally, from my point of view, the teaching method that is used in our career is to transmit knowledge inherited many years ago. Typical teaching of what was the old music conservatory.
Despite all this, it is an excellent place to study music.
I think that should be more computers, and the internet should be more fast. The aspect that I like the most is the respect for the tradition. Although I think there should be more contents about chilean composers of the old school, as Pedro Humberto Allende or Alfonso Letelier.

ResponderEliminarYour subjects sound interesting for me, I would like to see a class for know the system of others areas that are in the same space.
ResponderEliminarI like the idea of new places to share, but always a group takes over the space to use drugs, I would like to have a smoke-free place (eating with smoke is very disgusting and the casino is always contaminated)
ResponderEliminarI think the education system can improve without getting stuck in the old school.
