MUSEP 2103 - Music Education Performance Studies 2

Students will receive training in key skills relating to professional performance standards as an instrumentalist, alongside developing an understanding of how to develop these skills in others. They will further develop their individual skill level as practising musicians, alongside their understanding of the key pedagogical principles involved in teaching instrumental music. All students will also gain ensemble experience in one of the Conservatorium's ensembles. Through involvement in rehearsals in which students gain experience with professional ensemble directors, students will develop effective practising strategies, rehearsal discipline and creative approaches to problem solving. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of teamwork, an awareness of professional standards and expectations, and be given opportunities to build effective working relationships with colleagues. Central to the course is a focus on professional standards and expectations, with students building upon the learning established in Level I Music Education Performance Studies.
