This subject examines the principles and practice of instrumental and vocal teaching covering beginners to advanced students. It includes study and application of the methodologies appropriate to a variety of music performance teaching situations including individual, group, and ensemble settings and consideration of ethical teaching principles. Co-curricular studies such as music literacy, music theory, history and aural training are integrated into the study. The balance of ‘music intrinsic’ and broader outcomes, including the acquisition of social, collaborative and life skills are considered. A specific study of instrumental acoustics supports practical teaching and the development of a teaching philosophy will provide a basis for continued growth as a music performer-teacher.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- effectively implement performance learning experiences for a range of students in various settings, applying theories, processes and curriculum studied elsewhere in the degree;
- identify and promote relationships between music performance learning and co-curricular musical learning (music literacy, music theory and aural training) and between music performance learning and extra-musical learning, particularly with regard to skills for life;
- express a working knowledge of acoustics as applied to the function and tuning of instruments, and performance situations as well as specific knowledge of their own instrument;
- demonstrate a broad knowledge of current music teaching philosophies and to develop a personal philosophy for instrumental / vocal teaching; and
- demonstrate teaching strategies that reflect a sound understanding of the creative process.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- demonstrate skills in cooperation, communication and negotiation that allow for effective working in groups;
- demonstrate the capacity for critical and independent thought and reflection;
- demonstrate skills in evaluative thinking, and in the application of theoretical criteria to practical outcomes;
- demonstrate analytical skills in the context of teaching; and
- plan effectively to meet deadlines.
