Students will develop a thorough technical background to cope with all stylistic demands; establish a sizeable concert repertory covering all styles. The subject includes advanced study of the established concerto repertory and all related aspects of music performance.
The study should include a concerto or a major ensemble work comprising at least three players. Vocal students may prepare excerpts, each of at least ten-minute duration, from opera or oratorio or a major ensemble work for voice and at least three additional players.
In order to contextualise their education within the best practices of local, national and international standards, students are expected to work competently and productively as team members both alone and in groups, for example participation in individual lessons and Concert Class/Orchestral related ensembles. In order to ensure the highest level of performance preparation, 100% attendance is expected.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of the subject, students should be able to:
- perform the soloist part with assured musical fluency
- maintain convincing musical interaction with supporting players
- sustain a musically convincing view of the soloist’s contribution
- communicate an individual sense of artistry through the soloist’s role
- develop best performance practice skills within individual and/or group settings
Generic skills
Students who have studied this subject will develop and enhance:
- advanced skills in complex critical thinking and self-evaluation
- skills in communication and cooperative artistic interchange

Additional delivery details
Students are to submit a proposed program of performance pieces for approval by the Head of Area. This is via the online Practical Examination Program Approval Form available from the Faculty’s current students forms page. This must be submitted by the subject census date. This is to ensure students' sufficient time to revise their program if it is not approved.
If students do not submit a Program Approval, they may still undertake the examination, the approval process is an academic measure for students to ensure that they are performing a repertoire that is endorsed by their Head of Area.
