| The following courses have been approved by the faculty
and Board of Trustees of the school. Not all courses are
offered every year; courses may be added to the curriculum
by the faculty after the publication of this bulletin.
A list of courses for each semester is published before
registration and may be obtained from the Shostakovich
School of Music, Art and Sport. |

Individual instruction is available to students with
members of our distinguished faculty. Registration is
accepted at any time of the year and lessons are scheduled
at the mutual convenience of the student and teacher.
All lessons are 30 or 45 minutes, unless a student specifies
a one hour lesson at registration. Most students attend
lessons once or twice a week, but other arrangements
can be made.
Instruction is available on all orchestral instruments,
piano, organ, guitar, recorder, voice and composition.
Students interested in violin and guitar must enroll
in private lessons, and may, at the discretion of the
teacher, be requested to take group lessons.

Students wishing to be assigned to a duo, trio, or quartet
should list "ensemble" under course name at
registration. Students who are studying piano, organ,
voice, voice acting, chamber music, violin, or guitar
may all register for ensemble. Other disciplines may be
offered if student and faculty interest is sufficient.
As schedules permit, each student will be assigned to
a coach and to an ensemble. |

Teenage students have the opportunity to play and study
rock music in an ensemble setting. Repertoire will be.
drawn from music by contemporary artists. Instruments
will include electric guitars, electric bass, trumpet,
trombone, sax, flute and keyboard. |
| The factors which create form and coherence in music will be studied from
the listeners point of view. Concepts such as melody, harmony, counterpoint,
and rhythm will be illustrated by examples representing diverse musical
styles ranging from classical to contemporary. |

The Shostakovich School of Music, Art and Sport music theory curriculum
introduces our students to beginning music theory and translates the maze
of intricacies and nuances of music theory into easily understood and
applied principles.
Students then advance to study diminished and augmented intervals, simple
two-part writing, diminished and augmented chords, harmonic analysis and
composition, and the study of more complex theory, harmonic analysis,
forms and conducting. Classes are individualized so that each student
may progress through the curriculum according to their own level of ability.
|
| This course will examine the simultaneous combination of tones commonly
known as harmony; and how harmony is distinguished from, yet complimented
by melody and rhythm. |
| This course will emphasize the practical applications of theoretical concepts
including: singing of all intervals and simple chords, singing unison melodies
derived from classical musical sources and some part singing. |
