Introduction
This unit is the first of two units aimed at providing an intensive course of study in music performance or composition designed to build skills to allow a successful audition into the Bachelor of Music Degree or the Bachelor of Musical Arts Degree.
Regular, detailed feedback on the student's work and progress is given during the student's scheduled music classes as well as through the more formal assessment tasks.
The student's command of fundamental performance skills will be demonstrated in both mid-year and end of year performance assessments. Similarly, for those majoring in composition, the student's command of compositional elements and capacity to write in an interesting, coherent manner will be demonstrated through a growing portfolio of work in both mid-year and end of year assessment procedures.
