Course Content (Syllabus)
The course aims to further and systematically enhance the increasing integration of musical practice into the undergraduate curriculum of the Department. The wind instrument ensembles are designed to promote effective collaboration among students within the Department and to serve as a complementary resource to the orchestra of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). In the third semester of the wind ensembles, the focus will be on contemporary repertoire by composers from Greece and abroad. Regarding the theoretical background, the course includes the study and critical commentary on articles from specific fields of performance studies and mental training.
