At Raffles Junior College (RJC), we will be working with A’ Level Music students, aged 17 and 18. Our time there will include some chamber music coaching, a discussion on instrumental techniques and a mini-recital featuring musicians from RJC as well as Trio Ébano.
We will be coaching chamber music repertoire prepared by the RJC students, focusing on the following points:
Listening
Ensemble Skills
Intonation
Communication
Technique
Discussion on instrumental techniques
As part of their music course, students are required to compose. The discussion will serve as a forum for exploration on the various techniques used on each instrument. Through demonstrations and explanations, we hope to expand and build upon their knowledge for these instruments, and to encourage idiomatic writing in their compositions. There will also be opportunities for Q & A.
