Summary
This module offers opportunity for intensive development of performing skills. Students receive regular individual lessons with their assigned practical music teacher, with whom they agree a corpus of works to be studied. Performers may elect at the start of the module (and with the agreement of their teachers and the module convener) to be examined as duos, trios or quartets rather than as individual candidates.
The end-of-year performance (see assessment), should usually include items selected from the appropriate syllabus of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music or equivalent. Instrumental recital: two items at DipABRSM level. Vocal recital: three items at DipABRSM level.
Further details can be found in the module handbook.
