MUSEP 1103 - Music Education Performance Studies 1A

This course immerses music education students into the wealth of performance activities offered by the Conservatorium. Students will combine specialised training in their area of choice with ensemble experience in one of the Conservatorium's ensembles. Students will extend and develop their individual skills as musicians, will learn professional expectations of musicianship and will develop their own voice as performers and artistic communicators. Through involvement in rehearsals in which students gain experience with professional ensemble directors, students will develop effective practising strategies, rehearsal discipline and creative approaches to problem solving. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of teamwork, an awareness of professional standards and expectations, and be given opportunities to build effective working relationships with colleagues. Central to the course is a focus on professional standards and expectations.
