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 develop a thorough technical background to cope with all stylistic demands; establish a sizeable concert repertory covering all styles. The subject includes advanced study of the established concerto repertory and all related aspects of music performance.

The study should include a concerto or a major ensemble work comprising at least three players. Vocal students may prepare excerpts, each of at least ten-minute duration, from opera or oratorio or a major ensemble work for voice and at least three additional players.

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:

• perform the soloist part with assured musical fluency
• maintain convincing musical interaction with supporting players
• sustain a musically convincing view of the soloist’s contribution
• communicate an individual sense of artistry through the soloist’s role
• develop best performance practice skills within individual and/or group settings

• Concerto performance or other approved major ensemble work, or program of excerpts of vocal repertoire, of 20 minutes duration, during the examination period at the end of semester (100%)

Hurdle requirement:

• 100% participation as a performer in instrumental or vocal class unless otherwise approved by head of area

• 100% participation in performance class or related ensemble or elective unless otherwise approved by head of area
