Request InformationStudy Plan
Work in music compositions and projects that will increase in duration and complexity. Compose for solo instruments, trios, ensembles, combos, short pieces for advertising, video art and short films.
You will be able to actively participate in your works for concert playing an instrument, as well as have musicians or professional groups perform the compositions created.
In the 1st and 2nd years you will strengthen the skills and resources that all musical creation REQUIRES: educate your ear, understand musical language and harmony, introduce yourself to composition by writing for different instruments, as well as arrangements for small ensembles.
You'll start with music production and mockup creation, while also delving into copyright and intellectual property.
In the 3rd and 4th years you will grow as a professional addressing project management and musical creation for four areas: songwriting, beat creation, music for audiovisuals and music for concerts.
