CURRICULUM<\/b><\/h1>\n

Graduate Instrumental Chamber Music<\/b><\/p>\n

The role of IAP musicians in Chamber Music may consist in being members of CNSV 110 ensembles, as well as working with the CNSV 108 first-year ensembles as mentors: guiding groups in scheduling, rehearsal techniques, insistence on acquiring good materials: score preparation, preparing parts, maintaining good attitudes and relationships for productive rehearsing from the first meeting, through the performance process. IAP musicians may form their own groups within their program, and request coaching through Conservatory lesson-scheduling. Required performances may take place on or off campus. Off-campus performance opportunities for international students may require academic training approval through the Office of International Student and Scholar Services.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Studio Instruction\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

This course consists of 13 one-hour private lessons with members of the Bard College Conservatory faculty and is required for all IAP students. The assignment of teachers is based on the schedule of the teachers and the judgment of Frank Corliss. This is a credit-bearing course and must be treated as such. If you absolutely must miss a lesson, please refer to the IAP Attendance Policy on Page 8. Absences due to unforeseen illness or personal emergency may also be excused on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of your teacher and the program directors. You are permitted to make up lessons during the semester, but only if you have excused absences to make up. If you have missed more than one lesson, or if you have unexcused absences, lesson make-ups will be at the discretion of your teacher, and Bard\u2019s payment for these will be at the discretion of the program directors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Graduate Orchestra<\/b><\/p>\n

This class will focus on training and performance of orchestral literature (standard and also unusual and contemporary). Bi-annual auditions help familiarize students with this process, and sectionals are held by members of the American Symphony orchestra, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and other faculty. Four programs a year including opera, and extra performances in major US cities and abroad. Maestro Leon Botstein is the music director, and guest conductors appear for two programs a year. Students may also fulfill this requirement by playing with The Orchestra Now, with permission of the directors of the Conservatory and TON.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conservatory Graduate Seminar 1, 2, 3, 4<\/b><\/p>\n

A four-semester academic sequence focused on topics in Music History and Music Theory. Emphasizing the development of research and academic writing skills, the graduate seminar explores the relationship between a work\u2019s musical structure\u2014that is, how it is constructed to achieve internal coherence\u2014and its broader historical, political, cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic contexts. The seminar covers a wide range of historical periods and musical styles, with particular emphasis on music of the 20th and 21st centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Performance Studies Seminar<\/b><\/p>\n

A weekly practicum developing performance and career building skills. Although primarily performance focused, this class would also include training in program design and creation, program-note writing, personal marketing, personal website creation, and public speaking and presentation skills.<\/span><\/p>\n
