EMUS1661: Early Keyboard Class 1

In this Unit of Study students will develop musical ideas and basic technical skills to play the clavichord, harpsichord and chamber organ repertoire in a chosen program of study. Historical and stylistic awareness through research, discussion, and application will be a strong and on-going focus and students will also develop strategies in practice to be self-correcting. Students will also study and gain experience of basso-continuo techniques, figured-bass realisation, improvisation and tuning.
