MUSCLASS 2090A - Classical Performance Extension 2 part 1

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2014

This course is BY PERMISSION ONLY. Entry will be determined on the basis of results in the performance examinations of Classical Performance 1B/Classical Vocal Performance 1B and instrument/voice sub-quotas. Classical Performance Extension 2 can only be taken in combination with Classical Performance 2A and Classical Performance 2B. In addition to the tuition provided in Classical Performance 2A and 2B, students will undertake further intensive 1:1 tuition in vocal or chosen instrument (5 hours per semester). Students will further develop their individual technique and musical potential, together with a mature understanding of interpretive principles and performance skills through the study of appropriate repertoire and technical exercises. In consultation with their instrumental/vocal teacher, students will also undertake an extended study consisting of either, a discreet set of works designed specifically for technical development, an extended work, or orchestral excerpts relevant to their instrument. Students are also expected to undertake a minimum of 7 hours per week (in addition to that required for Classical Performance 2A and 2B) of structured individual practice as designated by their instrumental/vocal teacher including repertoire study and a wide variety of technical exercises relevant to the student's chosen voice or instrument.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
