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.

Students will continue to develop a thorough technical background to cope with all stylistic demands and establish a sizeable concert repertory covering all styles. The subject includes advanced study of instrumental or vocal recital repertory and all related aspects of music performance.

In order to contextualise their education within the best practices of local, national and international standards, students are expected to work competently and productively as team members both alone and in groups, for example participation in individual lessons and Concert Class/Orchestral related ensembles. In order to ensure the highest level of performance preparation, 100% attendance is expected.

On completion of the subject, students should be able to:

• conceive, design and implement the creation of a musically coherent recital program
• demonstrate sustained artistic maturity in the preparation of recital repertoire
• perform the component works of a program with assured musical understanding
• sustain a level of instrumental or vocal craft that communicates and enhances the repertoire presented

Students should also further develop advanced skills in:

• major recital performance presentation and evaluation
• historical appreciation of complex repertoire development
• develop best performance practice skills within individual and/or group settings

Vocal and instrumental students: a 45 minute recital examination at the end of the semester of an approved program of pieces (100%)
