Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

Lessons: 50min weekly lesson times will be arranged with your individual tutor/lecture. Students will receive a maximum of 12 lessons per semester. In some cases teachers will give some of your lesson time in shared classes. You must attend these classes as well as your lessons. Note that some individual instrumental lessons may take place off campus.

Instrumental/Voice Class: Students are required to attend these classes (Vocal students be prepared to perform.) Voice, Piano, Violin, Cello and Wind class run at varying times over the week at the Academy of Performing Arts. Times will be arranged at the beginning of each semester. Please inquire with your instrumental/vocal lecturer if you are unsure of times and locations.

Compulsory requirement: All students enrolled in the BMus performance programme must join the University Chamber Choir or the University Orchestra. Attendance at all rehearsals and performances by the orchestra or choir as appropriate is compulsory. Failure to fulfil this requirement will constitute a failure to complete the requirements of this course. Attendance rolls will be kept by the choir and orchestra directors. Students can enrol in MUSIC227-XXY Performance Ensemble 1 to gain credit if they choose, but participation is required with or without the enrolment in MUSIC227.

Performance Hour:

You are required to attend these sessions, contribute to the discussions, and perform regularly (1-2 times per trimester) as directed by your performance teacher. All students are rostered to give a short performance at least once per trimester, and information on when you are required to do so is in the Google Calendar “Music Student Information Calendar”. To sign up for further performances at performance hour and selected other university performances, use the ‘Friday Performance Class and Resthome booking’ calendar. If you have been signed up by staff members to perform in other concerts, this can be viewed in the ‘Music Student Information Calendar. To have these calendars added to your account, please email either your university or a gmail email address to an administrator. Note any work presented in Performance hour must have been already performed in an instrumental class.

Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:

  • Sound, Technique and Expression

    The learning outcomes for this course should see the student achieve a level of technical fluency and ease that allows for a clear demonstration of technical expertise as well as the ability to perform musically with flair and personal expressiveness.

    This continuing paper presents a performance based focus to your studies, building on the more technical focus developed in the previous paper. These technical elements will be developed in the context of performance, and the student should be able to demonstrate these issues to a satisfactory level at the final exam. There may be opportunities for the performance tutors to talk about and work on musical ideas, styles and expressions, with works being presented in a complete performance exam.

    Linked to the following assessments:
  • Organisation, Music Learning and Time Management

    This trimester will help the student to develop skills further in these fields, with an expectation that self guided study will begin to be established to a satisfactory level of the course level,

    The use of diaries, notebooks for note taking in classes, and rehearsal schedules are expected elements for a successful course completion.
