Planned timetable:
This module will give students with existing music skills the opportunity to work with others to create, build and deliver a musical event. Working in groups, they will be given the opportunity to create repertoire, learn about leading rehearsals, and produce a final performance. All students will participate in all taught areas of the syllabus. Input from professional practitioners will help them to relate their learning to real-world situations. Assessment will track the life-cycle of their project, helping them to reflect on the skills they have used to bring their performance to an audience. The module will give students who are already active music-makers the opportunity to understand how to manage and lead a musical group project.
