Within this course students will be provided with opportunities to develop skills in music performance. Each Performance course will require students to demonstrate an increasing proficiency in both solo and ensemble music performance. Styles covered can include classical, jazz, contemporary and folk/world music. Learning and teaching activities will include lectures, small group teaching and ensemble work. Students will be able to access one-to-one tuition, master classes or conferences with School of Music staff. All students wishing to enrol in these courses must have successfully completed an audition.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- demonstrate an advanced control of technique, performance accuracy, and subtlety of musical expression within an awareness of musical textures, style, and character of the music being performed;
- demonstrate musicianship and performance presentation that includes high level imagination, confident artistic expression, and an understanding of the emotional intent of the music, through effective communication with an audience;
- 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;
- provide immediate verbal feedback to a range of performers on their live concert performance; and
- demonstrate their continuous development as ensemble performers.
Work Integrated Learning
Simulation/Virtual
This course gives students real world experience working with an ensemble and ensemble director towards a public performance. Students will receive and prepare repertoire, rehearse with other musicians, and then present their work in a concert which is open to the public. In this course students are also responsible for putting together a recital/concert of their own. In preparation for work as a professional musician, students will organise repertoire, form an ensemble/s, and present their work in a public concert in one of the ANU's performance venues.
Indicative Assessment
- Recital assessment appropriate to genre (50) [LO 1,2]
- Ensemble performance (20) [LO 1,2,5]
- Concert practice (20) [LO 1,2,4]

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.
