The Elder Music Library Music Resources Guide at http://libguides.adelaide.edu.au/music contains quick links to key music databases for scholarly research and online listening. It also contains links to websites of publicly available online scores, collected editions, and professional associations. Here too you can find a regularly updated list of new books, scores, CDs and DVDs available in the Elder Music Library.

Lectures with handouts and limited discussion cover the relatedness of broad theoretical principles and processes of music education to their application in the field of beginning level instrumental/vocal music instruction for pupils of various age groups.

Tutorials develop and broaden, through discussion, knowledge and understanding of appropriate materials for beginning level instrumental/vocal music instruction for pupils of various age groups in various teaching modes.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements

During the semester attendance at lectures and tutorials and teaching practice as outlined under Learning Activities Summary plus approximately 7 hours preparation per week, will result in approximately 9 hours workload per week.

12 x 1hr lectures on the principles and processes of music education, the various musical styles and genres encountered in instrumental/vocal music teaching, the appropriateness of teaching skills in a variety of related instrumental specialties, and the place of instrumental/vocal pedagogy in a portfolio musical career.

12 x 1hr tutorials focusing on suitable materials and teaching techniques for beginning pupils of various ages, and on the management of individual, small group and class teaching modes. Students will prepare a folio of teaching techniques and materials for assessment.

LECTURE, TUTORIAL, WORKSHOP OR PRACTICALLY BASED COURSE PARTICIPATION AND ATTENDANCE EXPECTATIONS
Active and positive participation in 100% of required lectures, tutorials, workshops or other practically based courses is expected.

LEAVE
Sick Leave, Compassionate Leave or Professional Development Leave may, upon application using the relevant Leave of Absence form, be approved by the course coordinator or relevant staff member. (See Leave descriptors in the Conservatorium’s Participation and Attendance Policy for details.)

PENALTY
Although active and positive participation in 100% of required lectures, tutorials, workshops and practically based classes is expected, any student who attends less than 100% of required classes without approved Leave will receive a 2% penalty for each unapproved absence. The penalties will be applied to the final total percentage mark for the year for the relevant component - ie after all other assessments have been completed and calculated.
Arrival after the scheduled starting time or departure before the scheduled finishing time may, at the lecturer or Co-ordinator’s discretion, be regarded as an unapproved absence.

Guides to the layout, content and categorisation of the portfolio will be distributed in tutorials.

Sample examination questions will be provided and discussed during tutorials.

The portfolio will be submitted to the Music Office by the due date, with the appropriate cover sheet and declaration. Late submission will incur a penalty deduction of 2% per weekday from the assessed mark of the complete submitted work.

It is expected all assessments including presentations, listening tests, practical examinations, written examinations and assignments will be undertaken and submitted as required (see Teaching and Learning Activities). However, Assessment Task Extension, Replacement Examination, Additional Assessment and Deferred Modified Arrangements are available on medical, compassionate or extenuating grounds. Full information concerning these matters can be found on the University website under University Policies and Procedures, Modified Arrangements for University Coursework Assessment Policy, at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/3303/ 

Where possible it is advisable to discuss the matter with the lecturer concerned in the first instance.
