Norwegian Folk Music is a full credit (30ECTS) one semester program designed for foreign students with an interest in Norwegian Folk Music. The main goal of this program is to give students a thorough understanding of the roots of, influences on and performance of Norwegian Folk Music. The main sources of this music will be discussed in a broad academic perspective, where musicology, cultural history and sosiology are used to create an integrated theoretical basis for learning.
The program is designed around three modules:
Lectures, field study, seminars, individual instruction on main instrument, group instruction.
Instruction is in English.
The program may be combined with other higher education programmes within the cultural sphere or form a part of a BA degree. The programme may be an approved exchange semester from the studies in the home country. The program gives access to an international network of folk musicians and folk artists and may open for further careers.
