Music as main subject

THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE MUSIC

Music at Højskolen Mors Mors is about spending a lot of time with others who love to play music. If there is a good opportunity, we line up for a concert! The core of the subject is interplay, you learn to become aware of your role and function in the overall expression. You'll typically have a main instrument, but you will also try other roles and instruments, which helps to deepen your understanding of music. The teaching is adapted to your level, so you meet the right musical challenges.

As a natural part of the teaching, there will be theory and context for the music we play while we play it. In that way we'll get all the way around the music in the rehearsal room.

Concerts

We'll regularly rehearse for concerts where we'll play for an audience. We'll therefore learn to put a concert on its feet and to ‘perform’ on stage together and separately. The school also has a studio that we can use for recording.

Interpretation (covers) and original material

In the music subject, we'll always work to make a mark on the music, so we do not just 'copy' the original, but create our own expression. We also want to create our own music and set up concerts in new ways.
