Educational goal and target group of this advanced training
- The European Nyckelharpa
Training (ENT) at Academy BURG FÜRSTENECK (Germany) and at the Scuola di Musica
Popolare di Forlimpopoli (Italy) strives to enable the students to play the
nyckelharpa at a rather high level in concerts and / or to teach it competently
or play it for their private use depending on the personal emphasis.
- The training is aimed at
professional musicians and music teachers with previous experience. Dedicated
amateurs with sufficient previous knowledge of music and playing the
nyckelharpa (or starting the nyckelharpa but experience on another instrument
at an advanced level) can request admission.
- The training is organised in Germany by the Academy BURG
FÜRSTENECK (at the two course locations BURG FÜRSTENECK and the state-run
Musical University Trossingen) and in Italy by the Scuola di Musica Popolare di
Forlimpopoli and follow the same curriculum. Workshops at the Eric Sahlström
Institut can be included depending on their content.
Extent of the training and organization
- One year of training
consists generally of 6 teaching modules (five 2.5 days and also the 3.5-day
International Days of the Nyckelharpa). The complete course usually consists of
participation in at least 12 to 18 seminar modules over several years, which
must cover all topics. Registration is for one year and a minimum of 4 modules.
The course takes place when a sufficient number of participants have
registered. A legal claim on the implementation of certain training modules or
on a continuation of the training in subsequent years does not exist.
- The lessons take place as group tuition, as individual instruction in front of the
group and also in exchange, discussion and reflection phases.
- Participation for single seminar modules can be requested.
The organisers and the teachers decide on the course organisation and content.
- Marco Ambrosini has overall responsibility for the content
of the training. Jule Bauer is the tutor for the German group. Other teachers
