More music for everyone

Providing specialized, high-quality education that is affordable to an increasing number of people has become one of the main goals of the University of Cundinamarca. To this end, and in line with this objective, the institution has created an offer of continuing education that is within everyone's reach.

In the music section, it offers open courses and diplomas structured in such a way that its training does not require any technical prerequisites or specialized prior preparation on the part of the students.

“A este portafolio educativo puede acceder quien quiera. La verdad es que son abiertos, no solo en lo que respecta a conocimientos, sino también a edades y educación.

Incluso, pueden tomarlos personas que no tengan formación relacionada y quieran empezar de cero”, explica Ana Betina Morgante, docente del Programa de Música de la Universidad de Cundinamarca.

The offer includes:

• Music training course
Dirigido a público en general, brinda herramientas técnicas instrumentales y teóricas que les permiten a los estudiantes, desde lo académico, lograr un mayor conocimiento en el tema musical. Los instrumentos que oferta son de cuerdas pulsadas y frotadas; vientos, madera y metal; piano y percusión.

Además, ofrece práctica coral y teoría y solfeo.
Registration deadline: March 12, 2022.
Start date: April 15, 2022.
• Training course in music theory
Also aimed at the general public, it contributes to the development of the musical training process of students in the region, both those who aspire to a higher musical education and those who consider it non-formal knowledge.
Registration deadline: March 12, 2002.
Classes begin: April 13, 2022.
• Musical Instrument Training Course
It aims to develop the physical, conceptual, attitudinal and technical skills of people for the basic execution of plucked and bowed string instruments; winds, wood and brass; singing; piano and percussion.
Registration deadline: March 11, 2022.
Start date: March 14, 2022.

Starting next semester, the Music Program at the University of Cundinamarca will offer two open diploma courses, one in musical creation and the other in musical production.

• Diploma in Music Production: From Idea to Song!

Registration deadline: March 31, 2022.
Start date: April 31, 2022.

Because the purpose of the University of Cundinamarca is to offer a comprehensive education, all of this academic offering of the Music Program is accessible to children, youth, adults and senior citizens.

“Vale la pena mencionar que los niños tendrán procesos musicales adecuados a ellos, pero no hacemos discriminación por edades.

Además, y en el caso de los instrumentos, las capacitaciones serán individuales, lo que nos permitirá ir al ritmo de los estudiantes y responder a sus necesidades particulares”, explica Ana Betina Morgante.

Likewise, and as the University of Cundinamarca has set out to offer this continuing education program to provide high-quality musical training, all professors have postgraduate degrees and specializations.

The courses and diplomas are offered in a virtual format ('online classes'), although in some cases, and with prior agreement with the students, certain classes may be taken in person.

The University of Cundinamarca currently has a branch in Zipaquirá for its Music Program and is building another one that will house, in addition to the musical programs, other continuing education programs.
