Coral as a training project
Participation in the chorale is considered from an eminently formative point of view from the moment the repertoire of each season is selected. Each new project is supported by formative musical criteria, which span several eras and artistic styles in a complementary, progressive, ongoing course.
Also formative is the approach that the choral director Oscar Salvador, professional choral director, takes to rehearsals, inserting elements of postural self-knowledge (development of postural habits and healthy vowels), on the one hand; on the other hand, each piece in program makes a didactic presentation in itself (composer, gender, style, characteristics, self-meaning and history).
Finally, it is formative from a humanistic point of view, the same opportunity to engage in interpersonal and inter-generational relations as the chorale offers, with people of very diverse professional backgrounds and seasons. Within the choir, singing members relate from you to you in a human relationship of respect and awareness of the value of the institutional representation of the faculty.
The Coral of the Faculty of Philology and Communication, as it could not otherwise, adds as added value the multilingual and multicultural character of its programme.
Formative recognition in ECTS credits
Just as participation in other chorales (UBs) has already been recognised by the UB as complementary training activity, the Academic Commission of the Faculty of Philology and Communication has approved the recognition of ECTS credits to students of their degrees participating in this activity.
Requirements:
' Regular assistance for trials (minimum assistance control of 80%).
. Compulsory attendance at concerts or institutional musical interventions.
. Renewable course participation in progress.
, Participation in public events with due decorum involving the value of institutional representation, caring for the personal aspect of the equipment of choral uniform.
Credit recognition:
' Recognition of 6 ECTS credits in total after the fulfillment of a minimum of two years of participation (3 ECTS credits for accredited participation during an academic year).
Procedure
At the end of the participation in the activities of the Coral during an academic year, its controller will sign a document that confirms the development of the activity. With this certification, the student can contact the Secretariat of the Faculty and request the formal recognition of the credits, which, once recognized, will be incorporated into their bachelor's degree file through their registration.
The amount of the license plate for recognised credits corresponds to 15% of the amount established at each time by the Government of Catalonia's Price Decree.
By agreement of the Faculty Academic Commission, dated 6 March 2020, the possibility of credit recognition will apply to students who can accredit their participation according to the planned system, from the 2019-20 course.
