Band / Ensemble

Styles? This is too a larger degree up to you. Our focus is that you experience playing music with others, and through this become a better musician.

Composition / song - writing
This is where you create your own musical world. Whether you are already experienced in this field or a novice we will help you along the way. The music you produce will be played at concerts and in the studio.
The school is able to offer competence in a variety of styles including classical, jazz, indie, rock / pop, avant-garde and metal.

Live Music
You will acquire lots of concert experience. Whether you are a cellist, singer or guitarist, throughout the year there will be plenty of opportunity to present yourself both at concerts in the school and elsewhere. These will help you develop as a performer.
Included in our programme for the year is the opportunity to perform at the Sunnhordland band showcase, BANDit, which will take place in the spring.

Music Theory and Music Anatomy
Everything you learn theoretically will have immediate practical use. Arrangements are made for those who wish to go on to further music study. In addition the school offers an option in traditional four part harmony.
In Music Anatomy you learn about compositional devices common across a wide range of musical styles through listening, and experimenting by composing in groups.
