Performing music involves active specialisation in one of four areas: instrumental or vocal performance, composition, music technology or musicology. Students engage in a variety of practice-based studies in their chosen area and develop choral/vocal skills by participating in the University choir. One of the fundamental components of this subject is aural training and students work comprehensively in this area.
Learning Objectives:
- develop and enhance skills in either composition, instrumental or vocal performance, musicology or music technology in a variety of contexts;
- develop and enhance verbal and written skills in a variety of music contexts;
- increase aural awareness skills of perception, analysis, identification and synthesis.
Assessment by progressive practical tasks (40%); major performance/portfolio (40%) (must be successfully passed); aural training (20%). Participation at a minimum of 80% of choir rehearsals and performances must be achieved to pass this subject.
