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 projects are supported by 1:1 tuition and performance classes. Repertoire may include solo works, chamber music, orchestral material, concerti, and accompaniment. Recital programs are subject to approval. The program of works is expected to demonstrate advanced performance with consistent confidence in technical presentation, demonstrate mastery beyond the knowledge of style, convince the audience of the vision of the work, and present a professional demeanour. The overall standard of the final recital is expected to be commensurate with entry level into the profession.
