UNIT OF HARP, GUITAR AND PERCUSSION

Unit of Harp, Gui­tar and Per­cus­sion com­bines edu­ca­tional, artis­tic and schol­arly activ­ity of ped­a­gogues of these three spe­cial­ties. The name of this unit, accepted by the Sen­ate in 2009, offi­cially became a part of the Department’s struc­ture on 1st Octo­ber 2009. In pre­vi­ous years it con­sisted of two units – Unit of Harp and Gui­tar, which for many years was run by Pro­fes­sor Urszula Mazurek, and Unit of Per­cus­sion, run by Pro­fes­sor Edward Iwicki since 1984.

The Unit organ­ises its didac­tic work, super­vises it so that it is car­ried out cor­rectly and the right level is main­tained within all areas of orches­tra, solo and cham­ber music, as well as at intra­mural and PhD stud­ies and Post­grad­u­ate Artis­tic Train­ing; it also pre­pares cur­ric­ula for pri­mary and sec­ondary music schools. Chil­dren, who com­pleted a three-year orig­i­nal pro­gramme of harp play­ing cre­ated by Pro­fes­sor Urszula Mazurek, achieved great results.

As part of its widely under­stood activ­ity the Unit car­ries out var­i­ous organ­i­sa­tional under­tak­ings: music work­shops with out­stand­ing artists and com­posers, pro­mo­tional con­certs for above-average stu­dents, con­certs exchanged with other uni­ver­si­ties, and con­certs per­formed by lec­tur­ers and stu­dents of the FCUM. It is in per­ma­nent con­tact with many ped­a­gogues from uni­ver­si­ties in Poland and abroad, as well as with the Per­cus­sive Arts Soci­ety from the USA.

Ped­a­gogues of the Unit give con­certs, are jury mem­bers at music com­pe­ti­tions in Poland and abroad, par­tic­i­pate in schol­arly ses­sions, organ­ise sem­i­nars, mas­ter courses, music work­shops and concerts.
