Course overview

This course develops advanced musicianship in the context of an ensemble by focussing on rehearsal discipline, stylistic interpretation and advanced ensemble skills. It consists of rehearsals with ensembles and/or chamber ensemble to develop a program of works in the repertoire of the specialisation that may culminate in the presentation of a public concert. Additional sectional and concert rehearsals may be required. Repertoire may include chamber music, orchestral material, choral activities and accompaniment. Participation in established Conservatorium ensembles may occur based on audition. The candidate is expected to demonstrate advanced performance skills with consistent confidence in technical presentation; demonstrate mastery beyond the knowledge of style; and present all work in line with practices and expectations of the professional. The overall standard of the concert work is expected to be commensurate with entry level into the profession.
