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:
One-to-one lessons with an approved instrumental or vocal teacher.
A solo recital (c. 20 mins) examined at the end of semester 2 (100%) (ILOs 1-5). (If there are public health restrictions in place that prevent a live recital, it has to be recorded and the recording uploaded.)
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. MUSI20058).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
