Planned timetable:
This module caters for students aiming to develop their performing skills to diploma level. Alongside the primary focus of performance, students will have the opportunity to consider relevant music in its historical context. Teaching will include subsidised instrumental/vocal lessons at the University Music Centre (covering thirty minutes' tuition every two weeks) as well as masterclasses with professional musicians.
Pre-requisite(s): Before taking this module you must gain an average mark of at least 16 from MU1004. In exceptional circumstances, entry could be by audition.
Weekly contact: Fortnightly individual 30 minute instrumental lessons (5 each semester); fortnightly 1 hour tutorials (5 each semester) and 12 additional hours of teaching in a variety of formats including masterclasses, professional development topic seminars and practical training in musicianship appropriate to both individual and group requirements, spread over the academic year. Delivery of these 12 hours will be flexible in order to take advantage of opportunities arising through the Music Centre, but will be agreed with students so that it lies sympathetically alongside their other timetabled commitments.
