This unit fosters the development of skills acquired at Level C. Students will give two recitals, one at the end of each teaching block, as detailed below. Teaching is delivered principally through one to one instrumental or vocal lessons, supplemented by performance seminars and workshops.
Aims:
Through a variety of teaching contexts, including individual instrumental or vocal lessons, performance seminars and workshops, and masterclasses, this unit aims to deepen the student's appreciation of technique and its musical application in solo and ensemble performance. With respect to solo performance, repertoire will be broadened; stylistic awareness (including an awareness of historically-informed styles of performance) will be extended; programme planning and recital presentation will be refined. The skill of co-operation with other musicians in an ensemble context will be introduced in this unit. Occasional masterclasses and ensemble coaching sessions given by visiting professional performers will enhance the learning experience. The unit also aims to encourage critical self-reflection on personal development as a performer through the compilation of a detailed log book.
Successful completion of this unit will enable students to:
16 hours of one-to-one lessons over the year (24 weeks) with an approved instrumental or vocal teacher.
44 hours of participation in departmentally-run choirs or ensembles (Symphony Orchestra, University Singers, or Choral Society).
A solo recital (c. 10 mins) examined at the end of semester 1 (30%)
A solo recital (c. 20 mins) examined at the end of semester 2 (70%)
The solo recitals will measure outcomes 1 – 5
