Students continue their intensive pursuit of industry-standard performance skills and approaches that commenced in Orchestral Instrument Performance 1 & 2.

Each student further explores their relationship with professional performance through continued intensive training from specialist staff, including conductors and orchestral instrumentalists, will allow a deepening of the student’s skills as an orchestral or solo performer.

Activities continue to include weekly individual lessons; rehearsals and performances with the University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; and independent preparation and performance of a solo program (most commonly with piano accompaniment and/or other supporting instrumentalists).
