The institute is in charge of organizing the entrance examinations, which test the applicants' knowledge of solfeggio and music theory through written and oral tests. The oral test gives the opportunity to evaluate our applicants' skills in music literature. Those students who want to take up solfeggio and music theory must also take an exam in folk music. The requirements of the entrance exam are fixed: they test the knowledge acquired at a secondary technical school. We inform the students about the types of exams available by sending out prospectuses to music schools.
Solfeggio is taught in four semesters, the music theory in six and aesthetics in four semesters. At the end of each course the students have to take a final exam.
In the fourth academic year we start teaching folk music and close it with an examination.
Practising ear training, improving musical memory and rhythm are of main importance in teaching solfeggio. Music theory and solfeggio are practical subjects so they are taught in small groups. The music history lessons are based on versatile authentic materials and reference books. At the exam our students are supposed to give short presentations on the different topics. We train future solfeggio teachers in the main subject solfeggio and music theory for four years at a very advanced level. Their curriculum is comprised of solfeggio teaching practice in methodology and choir conducting. The library provides access to books, orchestra sheet music and a musical studio, where apart from listening to audio materials, students can record and listen to their own performances.
In the future the Institute of Musical Art will teach other theoretical subjects and other arts subjects when they are introduced.
The department is responsible for training students in the violin, viola, cello and double bass. After 8 semesters of studies graduate students obtain a music teaching degree. During their studies they usually join the Győr University Orchestra. Apart from their instrumental music skills, technical progress and musical performance is regularly assessed at recitals and end-of-term examinations. Students also have the possibility to take part in the musical events of the city. Those in the higher academic years have permission to take a part-time job in music schools and professional orchestras.
At our institute this Department is responsible for co-ordinating the subjects of music theory, solfeggio, the history and aesthetics of music and folk music as well as their methods of requirements and recitation. The solfeggio theory as a main subject and the additional course for training solfeggio teachers and choir conductors for primary schools also belong to this department, as well as the basic rules of composing, which is a compulsory course for the students in the organ course. For 4th year students, special musical seminars are offered as an optional subject. This academic year, “Haydn’s oeuvre” was offered. In the future new seminars will be offered, for example, significant mass compositions in the history of music; Mussorgsky’s oeuvre, and the history of string quartets.
As well as piano, training in organ, percussion instruments, guitar and singing are offered with one trainer for each subject. Our aim is to give the students special and general knowledge over 8 semesters, which enables them to work in their special field. We strive to have our students think independently and maintain continuous self-study. Instrumental music and the familiarity with musical compositions should develop their character, aesthetic sense, and personality. All majors offered in the departments of the Music Academy except for singing are at the university level. Since none of the majors (except for percussion instruments) train for orchestral music, special attention is paid to chamber music and singing in the choir. This is a basic of instrumental studies, while singing provides a basis to build upon the sound formation of piano and organ music.
The department is also responsible for the teaching of woodwinds and brass instruments, the teaching of methodological subjects and also organizes and oversees the practical training in the music school. The students learn the history of instruments, the functions of respiratory organs, the correct posture and mouth shaping and teaching tasks at a basic level. They also learn the wind parts of compositions, paying special attention to the problems of unity and intonation. They deal with the problems of teaching phrasing, shaping, theory of art, memorisation and the development of musical creativity.
