Course Description

Building on the foundation laid in the first-year musicianship course, students develop their musicianship by working at keyboard skills. They develop acute listening skills through classes in aural and performance skills, which are further enhanced by concert attendance, which provides the opportunity for self-reflection. The course is primarily concerned with the acquisition and development of skill sets associated with music that need to be developed over an extended period of many years.

Performance skills may include sessions on vocal technique and repertoire, Kodaly-based aural work, directing ensembles, performance etiquette, programming, performance psychology, health relating to performance, psychology of performance, practising strategies.

Further Information & Notes

This course requires an ability to play the piano and to read music fluently.

This course is taught across the whole session from week 12 to 44.
