| Course Description |
Performance develops each student's technical skill in their discipline, and challenges and extends their artistic understanding and creativity. Study of an instrument/voice is undertaken through individual lessons, performance and technical classes and concert practice activities, from which the student's technical and musical proficiency is assessed and developed and a range of repertoire of diverse styles and historical periods is explored. This study is strongly sequenced according to the needs and abilities of each individual, and the discipline-specific demands. Performance fosters a thorough technical foundation in the discipline, repertoire and stylistic knowledge, the ability to express and communicate artistic ideas and intentions, the ability to perform confidently in public, independence and problem solving, self reliance in practice, critical reflection on personal musical expression, self motivation and organisation, management of physical demands, and an ability to meet practical requirements and deadlines. |
| Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate developing understanding and proficiency in all aspects of performance relative to their instrument/voice commensurate with established international benchmarks, in particular: 1. A reliable technique, good practice habits, musical and stylistic sensitivity, and the ability to express creative ideas using musical language. 2. A sound knowledge of relevant literature and repertoire. 3. The ability to perform in public at a level appropriate to skill development. 4. For jazz students: knowledge of stylistic features of jazz (including tone, phrasing, rhythm, feel, etc), the ability to improvise appropriate to skill development, and the development of a personal voice with respect to creativity and style. |
| Indicative Assessment | A graded result reflects the level of achievement in technical assessments and recitals. Emphasis is placed on regular critical feedback and formative evaluation by staff. Assessment requirements and criteria vary according to the nature of the discipline. Guidelines setting out specific requirements and assessment criteria for each discipline will be provided. |
| Workload |
Total contact time will vary according to instrument, but will normally include one hour's individual tuition per week, plus performance class and concert practice.
