Descriptions

Objectives
The goal of the Degree Programme is to train, develop, and graduate students specialising in popular music and jazz as competent and versatile music professionals: instrumentalists, music educators, music writers, and music producer/technologists, who are willing and able to develop their professional skills further and to use their creative knowledge to enrich both the Finnish and the international field of popular music and jazz. Students who graduate the Programme will earn a Bachelor's degree, specialising either as a Musician or a Music Educator. In both specialisation options the students deepen their basic vocational skills and knowledge right from the beginning, in addition to common subjects and cultural studies. At first, all students take core requirement studies, but towards the end of the studies the amount of elective studies increase, thus leaving room for specialising. All courses are one semester of length at the most. The Programme also offers the students a firm theoretical background to expand one's studies into music research and, in the case of the music educators' study line, also into examining pedagogical issues within the field of popular music and jazz.

Structure of the Degree Programme
The Degree Programme comprises of core requirement studies, professional studies, elective studies and work placement, as well as a Bachelor's thesis and a maturity test. Within these, in addition to the specialisation options and advanced study modules referred to above, further options are available in the form of modular courses which are chosen in accordance with the desired specialisation objectives. Part of the work placement for music education students consists of practical teacher training, but all students also prepare for performance situations characteristic of their special field in order to gain familiarity with the multiform tasks of practical working life. With some preconditions, students may change their professional specialisation before the beginning of the second year of studies.

Vocational Description
The objective of the Pop & Jazz Musician specialisation option is to educate versatile and stylistically diversified music professionals to work in expert-level tasks in Finland and internationally. The Programme emphasises professional attitude, work based learning, and the musician's own initiative in getting job opportunities as a free lance or ensemble musician, performing artist, composer-arranger or songwriter, music producer, or music technologist. In particular, the Pop & Jazz Musician's specialisation option aims at mastery of skills and knowledge necessary for performing and creating music. The student can choose between Instrumentalist's, Music Writer's, or Music Producer/Technologist's professional specialisation studies.

The instrumentalists' working and performing situations vary widely, and often the performing musician must be able to perform a wide range of tasks in different settings, such as those of a studio musician, club performer, theater musician, or restaurant entertainer. This requires professional flexibility as well as teamwork and social skills. Those specialising as music writers require knowledge of diverse musical genres, music production and technology skills, and the ability to produce material quickly, when needed. Because music producer/technologists have to be able to manage the music production cycle from idea to distribution in the studio environment as well as in live performances, their studies focus on practical work and the ability to produce content for both audio and multimedia productions, in addition to a knowledge of modern recording techniques and equipment.

Development

Pop/jazz-musiikin koulutusohjelman lukuvuoden 2011-2012 opetussuunnitelmien merkittävin uudistus on aiemman säveltäjä-sovittajan ammatillisen suuntautumisen sisällöllinen ja toiminnallinen päivittäminen Pop/jazz-muusikon suuntautumisvaihtoehdossa. Tämä on luonnollisesti tuonut mukanaan useita uusia opintojaksoja sekä aiempien opintojaksojen sisällöllisiä ja ajoituksellisia tarkennuksia. Samalla ammatillisen suuntautumisen nimi on muutettu muotoon Musiikintekijä. Tämä ammatillisen suuntautumisen päivitys pohjautuu laajaan työelämäpalautteeseen. Kehitystyötä on tehty tiiviisti alan keskeisiä toimijoita ja ammatillisia vaikuttajia kuunnellen, mm. tiedonhankintakyselyjä hyödyntäen.

Lisäksi aiemmat afroamerikkalaisen musiikin historian ja estetiikan opintojaksojen sisällöt on päivitetty ja opintojaksojen nimet muutettu uusia sisältöjä vastaaviksi. Myös aiemmat Musiikin analyysi ja Musiikin kirjoitus 1-3 -opintojaksojen sisällöt on uudistettu ja opintojaksojen nimiksi muutettu Melodia ja harmonia 1-4.

Musiikin koulutusohjelmarypään ammatillinen neuvottelukunta käsitteli opetussuunnitelmia kokouksessaan 9.2.2011. Kokous piti uudistuksia tervetulleina, ja varsinkin uusi Musiikintekijän ammatillinen suuntautuminen sai kiitosta sekä toteutukseltaan että työelämävastaavuudeltaan.

Pop/jazz-musiikin opetussuunnitelmien opintojaksojen kuvaukset on kirjoitettu osaamisperustaisiksi. Tehty kehitystyö perustuu Euroopan konservatorioliitto AEC:n julkaisemiin, Erasmus/Polifonia-verkoston määrittelemiin kansainvälisiin osaamis- ja kompetenssikuvauksiin, joita varten opetussuunnitelmissa on myös oma kompetenssipohjainen jäsentelynsä.

Opetussuunnitelman kehittämistyön jatkamiseksi pop/jazz-musiikin koulutusohjelmassa on olemassa jatkuva, määritelty ja kuvattu prosessi.
