Music

Course summary

Over the two-year course, we study three of the most exciting periods of music in history: The development of the Symphony 1750-1900 (containing perhaps the greatest pieces of all, by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven), Into the 20th Century (a turbulent and revolutionary period where modern music was born, thanks to Debussy and Stravinsky), and Jazz 1920-1950 (where rock and pop all began). We also learn to compose our music (two pieces) and we prepare a solo recital performance.
