The programme explores representative solo keyboard repertoire from the Baroque period to the 20th century, ranging from the elementary to advanced levels (ABRSM Grade 3 to diploma level). Special attention will be given to stylistic distinction in representative keyboard works in relation to the socio-cultural context in which the music was created and performed.

Through a combination of lectures, tutorials and student presentations, this programme enables students to define methodological terms, concepts, and processes in media and cultural studies. This helps students make critical judgments on researches commonly used in media and cultural industries, and to design and apply research methodologies to research on media messages, media production and consumption. The programme also aims to equip students with the independent research skills they will need to flourish in academic and vocational contexts, and to carry out basic research in order to produce a piece of academic writing.

This programme provides students with the opportunity to acquire advanced piano teaching skills by training them to develop their own teaching philosophies and methodologies as professional piano teachers. Topics on teaching methodologies, issues on private and group teaching, piano repertoire lists, studio policy and business will be covered.  Observations on private and group studio teaching will be included in the programme.

This programme will focus on key debates on popular culture and cultural consumption in relation to the media. Issues of pleasure, politics, meaning and value will be raised in connection with a range of cultural forms. Situated historically in the twentieth century, the programme analyses the development of mass culture as a socio-economic form, and as a term emerging in relation to other media forms, such as Hollywood movies, television programmes, music, art, print and new media. A range of theoretical perspectives will inform the analysis. The consumption of popular culture is addressed through recent ethnographic and qualitative work on audiences. 

The main objective of this programme is to introduce students to the key theories, thinking and debates surrounding new media studies. This programme will also contextualise the social functions and cultural meanings of digital/ new media technologies and their changes in different social and historical environments. The programme will encourage students to explore different forms of new media experiences and participations, and equip students with practical digital media production skills by designing, producing and publishing creative new media projects.

This programme aims to introduce students to the key meanings and structures of visual culture and thus help them investigate the ways in which cultural meanings are articulated, interpreted and communicated through different forms of visual-cultural practices, such as films, photographs, advertisements and museum displays etc. This programme will also introduce a range of visual research methods and media production techniques which develop students’ capacities in both analysing and creating visual-oriented projects.

This programme serves as a platform for students to share their musical experiences and knowledge through performing during the lessons.  It provides students with an opportunity to perform in front of an audience (the whole class), and receive feedback and suggestions from the lecturer and other guest lecturers.  The recital opportunity will further enhance students’ skills and musicianship, broaden their repertoire knowledge, and develop their interpretational abilities.

This programme aims to empower violin and viola instructors with a comprehensive understanding of string pedagogy, enhancing their teaching effectiveness and stimulating their pedagogical creativity. It incorporates a study of traditional methods, along with an exploration of globally developed and adopted string teaching philosophies. The curriculum is strategically sequenced to establish fundamental violin and viola techniques, addressing potential challenges in teaching. Rather than subscribing to a single methodology, the programme aspires to furnish teachers with a versatile pedagogical toolkit, fostering early musicianship, enabling individualized learning plans, and nurturing teaching sensitivity. The programme is designed to be adaptable to varied repertoires, including those featured in common performance exams like the ABRSM, considering the specific demands of music education in Hong Kong.

音樂製作的轉型，令到新一代的年青人可以透過網上不同的平台去發表自製的音樂作品。可惜，他們利用新式電腦軟件所製作出來的音樂之水準往往水準參差。有見及此，本課程目的是為了提供學員一個發展及改進音樂創作、製作及推廣的機會。寄望此課程能獲得一羣熱愛音樂創作的上班一族歡迎。
