Curso de Instrumento ❖
The Interartes Instrument Course offers a structured learning path aligned with the principles of DGERT-certified training, guiding students from their first steps in music to advanced levels.
The course combines technical development, music theory, ensemble practice and individual artistic growth in a consistent and progressive way.
Available for all instruments — including piano, guitar, drums, bass, singing, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass and others — it adapts to each student's age, maturity and pace, with clear goals, personalised guidance and continuous assessment.
This approach continues a pedagogical tradition of more than 50 years, inspired by the foundational work of Jorge Lee, and is rooted in rigour, creativity and musical integration, within a recognised and certified training framework.
Flexible progression: Levels I to IV may take 1 or 2 semesters to complete, depending on the chosen workload, the student's maturity and the need to consolidate key skills.
Level V runs over 2 semesters.
Included Subjects
Individual Instrument Lessons — technique, reading, interpretation and repertoire.
Music Theory — theory, reading and harmony through practical application.
Ear Training — melodic, rhythmic and harmonic awareness.
Combo / Ensemble — integrated group practice from the intermediate levels onwards.
Music History — stylistic and historical context at advanced levels.
Music Technologies — introduction to recording, editing and production at advanced level.

FAQ
1. Progression & Structure
What does it mean for the course to be organised by levels?
The course is divided into five levels (I to V), each with defined pedagogical goals and progressive content. This structure allows each student's technical and musical development to be followed in a clear and continuous way. The course may be taken as a complete learning path or level by level.
How long does each level last?
Levels I to IV normally last one semester, but may be extended to two semesters depending on the student's maturity, the chosen workload or the pace of learning. Level V lasts two semesters.
Do all students start at Level I?
Not necessarily. After a brief initial diagnostic assessment, the student may be placed in a level that matches their musical knowledge and experience.
Is it possible to progress more quickly?
Yes. Progression depends on each student's attendance, commitment and consolidation of skills. Teachers and the pedagogical coordination team assess each case individually.
2. Lessons & Subjects
Which subjects are included in the course?
All levels include individual instrument lessons and music theory. At intermediate and advanced levels, ensemble/combo, ear training, music history and music technology are also included.
What happens in the theoretical lessons?
The theoretical lessons include music theory, ear training, harmony and music history, always with practical application to the instrument.
Which instruments can I choose?
The course is available for all instruments taught at the school: piano, guitar, bass, drums, singing, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass and others, subject to availability.
Are the lessons individual or in groups?
Instrument lessons are ideally individual. Music theory, ear training and ensemble lessons may take place in small groups.
3. Assessment
How are students assessed?
Assessment is continuous and formative throughout the semester, with a final summative assessment that includes both practical and theoretical components.
Is there a written assessment?
Yes. In levels that include theoretical content, a short written assessment is completed at the end of each training period.
Is any type of certificate issued at the end?
Successful completion of each training course leads to the issue of a certificate confirming the learning path completed and the skills acquired by the student.
Within the framework of DGERT-certified training, this certification is part of a structured and recognised system and is issued through the SIGO platform, in accordance with current legislation.
4. Practice, Performance & Technology
Os alunos têm apresentações públicas?
Sim. Em cada semestre há apresentações, recitais ou audições, onde os alunos mostram o trabalho desenvolvido.
Todos participam no ensemble ou combo?
Sim. A partir dos níveis intermédios, o trabalho de conjunto faz parte do programa curricular e contribui para o desenvolvimento da escuta e da interação musical.
Há contacto com tecnologias da música?
Sim. Nos níveis avançados, os alunos aprendem noções de gravação, edição e produção musical com softwares apropriados (DAW).
5. Schedule, Calendar & Logistics
How many lessons are there per semester?
Each semester includes around 18 to 20 lessons, plus rehearsals and performances, depending on the instrument and calendar.
How long are the lessons?
Individual lessons may last 30 or 50 minutes, depending on the chosen plan.
How are schedules defined?
