The curriculum of the first level of the International Musicianship Certificate Programme was compiled in such a way that the participants enrolled in the programme will be able to gain a broad insight into the process of singing-based musical hearing and skill development and will be able to receive truly versatile practical experiences.
In addition to Kodály's pedagogical compositions for unison- and part-singing, the musical material includes diverse folk music material and numerous examples of art music. Through these, the programme focuses on such areas of musical skill development as the foundation of reliable music reading through the selection of pentatonic and diatonic musical excerpts, polyphonic singing, development of musical memory, basic knowledge of music theory, basic knowledge of harmony and form, as well as the development of musical creative skills related to the musical styles discussed during the course.
The level of difficulty will be adjusted to the exam requirements, but it will take maximum account of the members of the study groups and the possible slight differences in regards to prior musical experience.
