Performance work involving weekly individual lessons, performance classes and ensemble training in an approved instrument and the presentation of a public recital.
This course develops further the performance skills on the student's chosen instrument culminating in the presentation of a solo public recital, and develops performance experience through participation in concerts of solo and ensemble music. At this level, students are expected to show evidence of maturing musicianship. There should be clear evidence of an appreciation of a wide range of musical styles, and of a repertoire that covers the main stylistic periods and idioms of the instrument.
MUSI131, MUSI172, and MUSI241 (with a B- grade or higher)
Times of lessons will be by arrangement with the tutor of the instrument.
