Philosophy of Music.
Music is taught in lectures, seminars, tutorials, ensemble rehearsals, and through independent study and practice. Students are assessed through a mixture of end-of-semester exams, continuous assessment, dissertations, recitals, and concerts.
There are five professionally-directed ensembles in UCD that can be taken for credit: Ad Astra Chamber Orchestra, UCD Choral Scholars, UCD Gamelan Orchestra, UCD Philharmonic Choir, and UCD Symphony Orchestra. Auditions for our performing ensembles take place during the first two weeks of the semester.
