The piano program provides piano training that complements the process. The work in scales, arpeggios, and progressions is indispensable for studying tonality. The progressions cover cadences and simple modulations and the use of all the degrees and modulations of distant intervals. The sonata form must be present during the entire process, given its importance in the development of tonal music. This program avoids the dilemmas of repertory believing that instructor criteria must be honest relative to the individual development of students and their program levels. The inclusion of free choice in the program permits Latin American contemporary and other types of repertory as long as they are originals for piano. The works must be presented at tempo and in the correct style.

This course teaches correct and fluid reading and intonation of melodies with the names of notes, studied and/or sight read, in different keys, in duet, in simple and compound rhythms, while another voice is singing or accompanied with an instrument (piano or guitar), while marking the rhythm. Name, explain, and interpret the notations used to write music. Explain clearly and concisely the theory related to the tonal system. Write dictations of melodies correctly and easily with one, two, and three voices with different rhythms, intervals, and chords. Synchronize tempo both alone and in a group. Use the La and the tonal systems as references for hearing the degrees in a scale, intervals, and chords, tonal functions, melodic structures.

The central purpose of this course is for the student to explore musical construction based on horizontality, in other words, the melody and the things related to melody for managing several voices, considering, of course, formal construction from a harmonic concept (Bach). The student will gather the knowledge and develop sufficient skills for melodic construction with two voices. The course will deal comprehensively with several aspects that come together in composition, although apparently they do not agree on the topic of the offbeat, such as ways to build meter, simple binary and ternary forms, logical bases for the consideration of harmonic ties and incidence of the same in the melodic management.

This is the main line of the concentration to obtain a degree as an instrumental musician. The professional training program in an instrument is based on a systematic evaluation of both the technical and artistic quality of repertory. The program’s coherence is determined by a clear educational orientation and musical development. The professor assigns repertory in line with the student’s level of skill and technical and musical knowledge. The repertory is then evaluated according to objective results obtained in recitals before a panel of judges. It is a fundamental part of the academic training process for instrumentalists.
