Course overview
The aim of this course is to develop a program of works in the repertoire of the specialisation that contributes to the development of advanced specialist knowledge in music performance. It culminates in the presentation of a 25-minute public recital. The recital is supported by 1:1 tuition and supporting classes. Repertoire may include solo works, chamber music, orchestral material, concerti, and accompaniment. Recital programs are subject to approval.
Performance in regular ensemble activity is recommend as directed by the coordinator.
Work in all these areas forms a preparatory path towards a Minor (25 min) recital at the end of the Semester comprising a program of music demonstrating appropriate achievement in stylistic, artistic and technical areas of performance. Development of a professional portfolio is required. Attendance and participation at performance classes or orchestral activities is required as directed by the coordinator.
