It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability will impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and the Disability Liaison Unit.

The Flute Ensemble rehearses and performs repertoire from the 18th to the 20th centuries, both as a large ensemble of between fifteen and twenty flautists and as smaller flute chamber groups. The group often uses less common members of the flute family—such as E flat flute and bass flute—as well as the orchestral piccolo and alto flute.

On completion of this subject students should be able to:

• show technical development as ensemble musicians
• participate with ability and self-confidence as a team member of a performing group
• perform selected repertoire to concert standard
• identify and exhibit specific knowledge of a range of ensemble repertoire
• exhibit an informed respect for the values and principles of ensemble performance.

Assessment will be on a pass/fail basis and will be based on preparation of parts, individual and/or sectional practice and active participation in all rehearsals, classes and performances as directed (100%).

Less than 80% attendance will result in a fail.
