contemporary amplified music course

in association with Music’Halle – l’École des Musiques Vivaces and the Université Toulouse – Jean Jaurès

organisation of studies

The contemporary amplified music course has been updated and now includes instrumental technique, interpretation, composition, and improvisation. The field of contemporary music is extremely vast, which is why there are no stylistic limits on the course provided by the isdaT.

5 Training Areas

Instrumental Technique
Performance
Polyvalence: deciphering, arrangement, composition, improvisation, studio, written and oral expression
Individual singularity, alone and within a group
Coherency.

These essential areas require regular and thorough training to reach the point of autonomy and improved self-expression.
