Students build on the intensive training provided in Orchestral Instrument Performance 1, exploring more deeply the possibilities of their instrument through intensive training in orchestral and solo repertoire.
Guidance 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 preparation and performance of a solo program (most commonly with piano accompaniment).
Delivery
Ensemble rehearsals are co-delivered with Symphonic Ensembles and Orchestral Instrument Performance subjects.
Ensemble Rehearsal and Performance Information: Information for Ensemble Activities can be found on the Fine Arts and Music Current Students website, or by contacting your Head of Area.
