Description

Advanced study in, and mastery of, the performance of an instrument or voice.

The course aims to develop technical skills, musical knowledge and understanding in an instrument or voice, through regular weekly 1 hour lessons with one of our exciting teachers. The course introduces methods of practice and rehearsals that lead to a major public performance at the conclusion of each semester. The course also develops knowledge of repertoire for the specific instrument or voice, as well as a working knowledge of chamber and ensemble music that includes it.

To support the development of the public performance skills expected of the student, an essential part of the course is a weekly Combined Performance Workshop (Monday 6:30-8pm). The workshop is used to host special guests, give/receive peer feedback, and discuss a whole range of performance-related issues, such as use of the body, performance anxiety, developing an artistic “voice”, and career development.

Honours students are expected to attend to our School of Music Post-Graduate Forum, which meets on the second-Tuesdays of most months, TBA, 5-6:30pm, in the Arts Centre Camerata Room, during the academic year. This is a forum for you to share your research and performance interests with other Honours, Masters, and Doctorate level music students.

Friday lunchtime concerts – held at 1:10pm at the Arts Centre location Recital Room – are available for you to perform and support your fellow students, staff, and selected guests that occasionally perform.
