MUSIC HISTORY
Basic Rate for 2011-2012
(40 lessons - September to June)

Music History studies composers, their compositions and times where they lived and created their masterpieces. It is important for every performer to enrich themselves with musical understanding that goes beyond learning the notes. Royal Conservatoire of Music offers students 3 levels or grades of Music History in addition to practical examination:

Music History 1: Overview
Music History 2: Middle Ages to 1800
Music History 3: from 1800 to Modern Music

Students will be tested in the following areas: exact dates of birth and death of composers; dates of important compositions; dates of musical time periods; important musical characteristics of composers, their compositions and time periods; people and places associated with composers; in-depth knowledge of musical terminology; writing an essay about composer’s life and musical style; in-depth analysis (essay style) of important musical compositions; reading the score (musical notes).

It is recommended to have 45 min. or 60 min. weekly lessons. During the week student should spend 3-5 hours regularly memorizing musical facts and listening to required music examples.

Usually our students take 3 to 6 month to prepare for each history exam.
