The main subject and the personal development are the most important in the curriculum. Students will be stimulated to think of new concepts, strike new public groups and build new platforms. Instrument control, knowledge of repertoire, guts and innovative and social skills are crucial within the professional practice. Rotterdam is known for its intensive cooperation within the brass section of Codarts, also because of the cooperation of the brass teachers in the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, so the students can profit in an optimum way of the expertise of the teachers and have the opportunity to look beyond the boundaries of their own ambit. The connection with the music world is even reinforced through the participation in the Codarts Brass Ensemble. Each year this ensemble works together with one of the Codarts departments, dance, circus, musical theatre, world music, jazz or pop. Also, the students play in orchestras and chamber music projects that are organized on a yearly basis by Codarts. Because of the wide range of activities the excellent professional trumpet players are educated in a way that they can enter the music world as ´frontrunners´.

Generic module title Portfolio year 4 Specific module title Portfolio year 4 Code Osiris Course type Course Year Year 4 Exam goal B Main phase Bachelor Content/relation to professional practice

General: The portfolio is a module that contains several activities. Some activities are organized by Codarts (such as the project weeks), other activities are designed by the student (individual study activities) Both types of activities have an common that they are focused on orientation on making informed choices in study and professional practice. They confront the student with different aspects of the art profession, both with regards to the different professional roles and other art disciplines. This broad orientation on the art profession stimulates the student to reflect on his own ambitions and profile and to translate this into concrete choices during and after study. The Portfolio year 4 consists of two project weeks. Every year two project weeks are organized. At least one of these weeks has a department transcending character in the sense that students of different departments and disciplines participate in joined projects. Form and theme vary per project week. During the project week the student is given the opportunity to get acquainted with disciplines/ genres/ aspects of the professional practice that were still unknown to him. When a student has attended the project(s) to which he was assigned, he obtains a positive result. Students that have not sufficiently attended the project(s) will have to do an substituting assignment (see below under Exam 2)

Reference competencies 3, 5, 13, 15, 19 Learning outcomes The project weeks serve as an orientation on several aspects of the art profession.

Broadening of perspective and gain new experiences are the main goal. There are no pre-set learning goals that are tested at the end of the module.

• a presentation of the most important findings and conclusions If the written research proposal has not been handed in or there is no ‘green light’ from the thesis coach, the student will not be allowed to do a thesis presentation and will have failed the exam. The work in writing and the thesis presentation complement each other. The presentation therefore is more than just a summary of the thesis: it is an addition, a defence and/or clarification of the written work. The thesis and the thesis presentation are assessed by a committee consisting of a chairperson, the students thesis coach and a main subject teacher. In some cases the thesis coordinator may decide to include an external expert in the committee instead of the main subject teacher. The thesis presentation is public and will be attended by as many fellow students/interested parties as possible. With several departments attending the

presentations of fellow students is mandatory for the other students. Exam criteria • professional relevance of the research proposal

• application of research skills and method • selection, use and interpretation of the sources • reflection and handling of feedback • linking of research results to the conclusions • argumentation and structure of the written work • level of care and use of language of the written work • clarity and language use of the presentation • responding to questions/feedback by the committee and guests • functionalities of presentation in relation to the written work

Exam duration 45 minutes (20 minutes presentation, 10 minutes question/debate, 15 minutes assessment). With several departments attending the presentations of fellow students is mandatory for the other students. The exam duration is then automatically extended.

Weight The written work and the presentation must both be graded satisfactorily (20 points). The average of both grades determines the final grade (20 points).
