Music – Ensemble Playing, Concerts & Creative Development
Music at Højskolen Mors is a subject for those who want to play music together with others and develop their musical skills. The core of the course is ensemble playing, where you will have the opportunity to work with your primary instrument and experiment with other instruments in a band setting. At the same time, you will be introduced to key musical concepts such as groove, sound, and musical interaction.
In the course, we connect music theory and music history to the songs, genres, and artists we work with. This gives you a comprehensive understanding of music—both in practice and in theory. In this way, we explore music from every angle in the rehearsal room. The teaching is tailored to your level, ensuring that you are challenged appropriately and have the opportunity to develop your musical abilities.
Concerts
An important part of the course is working towards live performances. During your stay, you will take part in concerts and events at the folk high school, including café evenings and the På Toppen Festival. You will gain experience with both the technical aspects of concert production and the performance side of being on stage. You will learn what it takes to create a concert as a complete and cohesive musical experience.
Interpretation (covers) and original material
In addition, we work with interpreting existing music and developing original material. You will have the opportunity to put your personal stamp on the music and experiment with songwriting and composition—both individually and in collaboration with others.
