Course overview
This course seeks to give participants in-depth practical experience of pedagogically significant repertoire from elementary and intermediate levels through the preparation and presentation of a lecture/demonstration. It is expected participants will perform illustrative extracts of a substantial nature to a high standard with a well-balanced, lucid commentary covering points of pedagogical significance, including a viva voce.
Participants are required to underpin their lecture/demonstration through the agency of good quality program notes. This course allows students to reflect on their own areas for personal development, alongside developing their awareness of sequential learning on their instrument. Students will explore how to create effective practice routines to meet the demands of various skills and challenges and will deepen their ability to analyse and interpret repertoire. Students will also develop their skills as communicators, both verbally and through musical performances and participate in performance classes.
Clear and detailed documentation in a Teaching Log/Portfolio of activities including lesson observations, reflections, rehearsal and concert observations and attendance at Elder Conservatorium performance-based activities.
