Module Content & Assessment
| Indicative Content |
|
Instrument-specific Programme:
An individualised, instrument-specific programme which expands the learner's technical abilities, stylistic awareness, musicality, internal time and performance skills.
|
|
Technique:
Relaxed and precise application of fundamental technique is expected on chosen instrument. Progressive study of advancing technique focuses on the specific requirements of authentic stylistic reproduction on chosen instrument.
|
|
Exercises, Rudiments, Scales & Arpeggios:
Progressive study of instrument-specific exercises that develop the student's performance competence.
|
|
Reading:
Accurate musical literacy is expected in the context of appropriate ensemble/ solo etudes and notated charts. Learning focuses progressively on the musical interpretation of written material.
|
|
Critical Analysis:
Critical analysis of relevant repertory will influence stylistic development on chosen instrument - building on acquired knowledge of instrument history and basic transcription skills. Group analysis highlights the core role of the chosen instrument and encourages musical sensitivity towards other musicians.
