Students continue with weekly individual lessons; rehearsals and performances with the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; and in addition, students prepare for the performance of a final capstone solo recital (most commonly with piano accompaniment and/or other supporting instrumentalists). This performance includes written program notes and complementary spoken introduction.
