Subjects

A - Instrumental specialisation

Individual classes
Each student will receive a minimum of 40 hours of personalised instrumental practice from their tutor/teacher distributed throughout the academic year.

Master classes with visiting professors
EAEM students will receive individual classes by soloists of international relevance, either invited by the RFG or hired for the purpose.

B - Practices with the RFG
Each student, with the supervision of his tutor, will join the RFG participating in various programs of the season (academic cycle).

C - Chamber music and instrumental ensemble
All students will participate in programs related to group practice that will materialize in public concerts throughout the academic year.

D - Theoretical subjects
Theoretical-practical content applied to instrumental practice, knowledge of the professional world as well as aspects related to the acquisition of a good mind-body disposition will be taught.

E - End of course project
In order to obtain the postgraduate degree, students must carry out an end-of-course project that will basically consist of the preparation and interpretation of public concerts that imply an outstanding soloist participation, either in individual or ensemble concerts.

Curriculum

Students will be guided from the outset by their respective tutors, who will follow an individualised and detailed training itinerary, taking into account the special characteristics of each student.

This educational programming will guarantee the students training and will allow them to obtain the necessary credits for their accreditation as a specialist. The fit of each student in the orchestra programs will be set by the Director, after deliberation by the Educational Commission.

In order for students to rehearse both individually and collectively, the EAEM will guarantee classrooms and study booths for everyone at the school headquarters.

As it is an eminently practical course, the instrumental subjects will have a higher non-contact study load than the face-to-face one.

Teachers

The EAEM has a highly qualified teaching staff, made up of musicians from the Royal Philharmonic of Galicia itself.

They talk about their training

Aida López

Violin

I only have positive words for this project of which I was a part. Highly qualified teachers, I especially highlight my teacher, a respectable and admirable person to say the least. We receive extensive training, particularly in the repertoire for orchestra tests, our concerts and orchestral passages. Some facilities conditioned to the student body for the development of their own personal study. Practices with the RFG where the majority made you feel like one of them, even giving the opportunity to play as soloists with the support and encouragement of all of them. To all this is added an environment and a magical city. In conclusion, a complete year, unforgettable for a lifetime.

Marta Prado

Percussion

For me it was an unforgettable experience where I met great people and was able to grow as a musician alongside great professionals.

Amador del Pozo

Double bass

The CAEO is a great opportunity to complete orchestral training professionally, with magnificent teachers and collaborating with an excellent orchestra like the RFG.
