Students develop technical skills in an instrument or voice, music knowledge and understanding through performance on an instrument or with voice, and develop a knowledge of the repertoire for that specific instrument or voice. This course is only available to students in the Mus.B.

This is the first course in a sequence that leads the student towards MUSA342, in which the student will be expected to demonstrate a high level of performance to an external audience.Students will attend individual lessons and performance classes.
Students who pass this course will have developed:* technical performance skills in an instrument or voice;* music understanding through performance in an instrument or voice;* a knowledge of repertoire for a specific instrument or voice;* a body of repertoire for a specific instrument or voice;* public performing skills.* Transferable skills: Setting and achieving goals; time management; performance under pressure; persistence; self-motivation.

Individual Performance Teachers are assigned to each student.
The performance examination will be of approximately 15-25 minutes' duration, including technical exercises and at least two short recital pieces. 30% will be based on "technical" material relevant to the instrument/voice such as scales and arpeggios, etudes and technical studies, orchestral excerpts, vocalise exercises, works that have a strongly technical component rather than an artistic/interpretive one.* 40% will be based on the artistic performance of solo (or small ensemble) repertoire, and will take into account performance demeanour and presentation.* NB: In the case of some instruments (eg, brass) it may be deemed appropriate to examine this part of the assessment on a separate date, near to but not the same as the date of the 40% assessment.
The following shows how to translate grades to numerical scores:A+ 90–100; A 85–89; A- 80–84; B+ 75–79; B 70–74; B- 65–69; C+ 60–64; C 55–59; C- 50–54; D 40–49; E 0–39In a course at 100- or 200-level examiners may grant restricted credit (R) which will be equivalent to a pass for all purposes except as a prerequisite.
