Program Description

STUDY MUSIC AND THE ARTS ABROAD, ON A BEAUTIFUL GREEK ISLAND!!

Paros International Creative Music Program is a new semester-long study abroad program on music and the arts for all Gap year and undergraduate university Liberal arts and Music students who are in their second, third and fourth year of studies and have an interest in writing music, music theatre, the arts of the 20th century and contemporary (classical) music and musicology.

Autumn semester: 18th of September to 14th of December 2015

Spring semester: 8th of March to 30th of May 2016

A great way to enhance students' future postgraduate study and career prospects by experiencing a semester or academic year of study and living abroad in Greece, on the island of Paros, Greece, a very popular holiday destination, our program is also an opportunity to experience a saturation of information on different pathways of creativity in music, learn more about contemporary art history of the 20th century, through courses supplemented by workshops and personalised tuition where emphasis is given both to the creation and presentation of each individual artistic vision as well as to the instigation of partnerships and the experience of joint collaborations in developing creative projects.

Highlights

The program is a great opportunity to explore creativity in music, supplemented by workshops and personalised tuition where emphasis is given both to the creation and presentation of each individual artistic vision as well as to the instigation of partnerships and the experience of joint collaborations.

Through an ‘open forum’ style of teaching, a series of activities of creative engagement with music making and a carefully selected curriculum of courses which are taught by experienced and enthusiastic young tutors who are specialists on the subjects they teach, our approach to learning is rigorous, exploratory and creative.

What`s Included

Students are free to select from course modules that are designed to cover a broad spectrum of creative interests and introduce the aesthetics behind the raisons d'etre of 20th century music. Our recommendation is that students select a minimum of two Core 3 credit and three Supplementary 2 credit courses, or one Core and four Supplementary courses (12 Credits in total) per semester to suit their own interests and pace of creativity, at a reduced combined price of $11,830 for such a full program, that includes all tuition and accommodation fees, inter-island travel to either Syros or Delos islands for our semester break excursion and some complimentary dinners.
