| Access Course |
| The Access Course is designed especially for secondary school leavers who have participated fully in their school’s CCA programme - Chinese Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Orchestra, Choir and Ensembles etc, but may be lacking in formal qualifications. |
|
| The course runs from January each year and provides a bridge for suitable young musicians straight from secondary school to prepare them for full time study in music whether at NAFA or elsewhere. |
|
 | Instrumental Tuition (Principal Study) - Students will be placed with selected professional musicians for weekly individual lessons. These specialist tutors will help the student develop a strong and solid technique along with preparation of repertoire. | |
|
| Music Appreciation - covers basic musical form, lives and works of leading composers and gives a timeline view of the development of western music history. | |
|
| Music Theory & Aural Training - although many young musicians have good practical skills, many lack a formal music theory foundation. This short course will cover all basics and take the student to a NAFA based assessment based upon the requirements of ABRSM Grade V theory (which may also be taken externally by the student). | |
|
| Choir & Ensembles - Students will be offered the chance to develop aural and music reading skills and an increased awareness in ensemble skills. | |
Maybe I should talk to Mr.Eric about this matter, since he's my conductor and the director at NAFA's music school. For once in my life, I am certain that this is what i really want...
