Course overview
Students undertake intensive 1:1 tuition in their chosen instrument (11 hours per semester). Students must enrol in the relevant tuition class for their specialisation. Through the study of appropriate repertoire and technical exercises, students will develop their individual technical and musical potential, together with a sound understanding of interpretive principles and performance skills. Students are also expected to undertake a minimum of 10 hours per week of structured individual practice as designated by their instrumental teacher including repertoire study and a wide variety of technical exercises relevant to the student's chosen instrument.
Through the Performance Classes, students will be given the opportunity to develop a range of preparation and performance practice skills. Through the Technique and Repertoire Classes, students will develop a range of skills and approaches which will aid their technical development, and will be given the opportunity to present, perform, and discuss their current repertoire with fellow students as 'work in progress'.
