This course offers a variety of extension ensemble performance experiences for students who have completed MUSI1102 Performance 2 in the Bachelor of Music. The purpose of the course is to give experience performing in a different type of ensemble to that performed in previously, and to reflect on how that experience differs from previous ensemble experience in order to both broaden and deepen the understand of ensemble performance. Students typically perform in a School of Music ensemble in which they have not previously performed (this may be in the same ensemble class but in a substantively different combination of instruments--for example a violinist who has previously played in a string quartet may play in a piano trio), but may with the agreement of the Course Convenor participate in a non-ANU ensemble.
Performing in an ensemble can only be learned through actually participating in an ensemble, and the absence of an ensemble member has a negative impact on the ensemble experience. As such, in order to pass this course students must, unless they have a relevant medical certificate, attend and participate in at least 80% of ensemble rehearsal time in order to pass this course.
