The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Use gestures to shape the music being played, communicating desired tempo, phrasing, tone, colour, pitch, volume, and other performance aspects.

  2. 2

    Direct groups at rehearsals and live or recorded performances to achieve desired effects such as tonal and harmonic balance dynamics, rhythm, and tempo.

  3. 3

    Study scores to learn the music in detail, and to develop interpretations.
