Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. demonstrate an intermediate control of technique and attention to performance accuracy with a greater emphasis on the artistic outcome in the music performed;
2. demonstrate an intermediate degree of control, subtlety of musical expression and awareness of musical textures, structure, style, character and emotional intent of the music being performed;
3. demonstrate musicianship, a standard of performance presentation that reveals imagination, and an evolving level of artistic expression enhancing communication with an audience;
4. demonstrate the ability to propose a research question and explore the question leading to a performance outcome. The student will be able to explain this process and outcome orally or in writing;
5. provide immediate verbal feedback to a range of performers on their live concert performance; and
6. demonstrate their continuous development as ensemble performers.

Indicative Assessment

1. Precise details of assessment requirements and criteria vary according to the nature of the instrument / voice, the needs of the student, and the current performance activities of the School. (null) [LO null]
2. The Performance Convener will determine these individual details as appropriate, utilising performance opportunities within the School or in approved community and professional contexts. (null) [LO null]
3. A typical pattern of performance assessment activities consists of: (null) [LO null]
4. · Recital assessment appropriate to genre (50) [LO 1,2,3]
5. · Ensemble performance assessment (20) [LO 1,2,3,6]
6. · Concert practice assessment (20) [LO 1,2,3,5]
7. · Written / oral research component assessment (10) [LO 4]
8. Performance assessment will cover all learning outcomes. (null) [LO null]
9. Concert Practice (null) [LO null]
10. Performing live in a concert can only be learned through actually participating in a concert, not only as a performer, but also as an audience member. As an audience member you learn about live performance from observing a range of live performances and providing live feedback to a range of performers on their live performance. Having an audience changes the dynamic and so it is essential that an audience is present for the live performance. The absence of an audience has a negative impact on the concert practice experience. As such, in order to pass this course students must, unless they have a relevant medical certificate, participate in at least 80% of Concert Practicetime byactive listening within each performance and offering constructive feedback based on this active listening when called upon to do so. (80) [LO null]
11. Ensemble (null) [LO null]
12. 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 theability not only of themselves but also of each of the other ensemble members to continuously develop as ensemble performers. As such, in order to pass this course students must, unless they have a relevant medical certificate, participate in at least 80% of ensemble rehearsal time. (80) [LO null]

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
