Course overview
This course seeks to give participants in-depth practical experience of pedagogically significant repertoire from intermediate to advanced levels through the preparation for and presentation of a recital. Students will develop their individual musicianship, interpretative skills, knowledge of stylistic conventions and technical skills. They will also further their understanding of how such skills can best be developed through methods of teaching and learning. They will explore the fundamental skills related to their specific instrument, and how such skills can be sequentially developed through technical exercises and selection of repertoire. Students will develop an understanding of the chief considerations that must be met to achieve a professional standard of performance and communication.
