Learning & Teaching

Wilto Yerlo Foundation Programs promote teaching and learning that

• incorporates cultural appropriateness as a key underlying principle
  
• respects individual learning experiences and prior knowledge of students
  
• promotes co-operative learning environments
  
• promotes cross cultural learning experiences

Learning at CASM takes place in a supportive 'community' environment. Students are encouraged to

• develop their music, knowledge and skills to a high level,
  
• develop their creative talents through individual and group work,
  
• develop their individual music interests.

Study Expenses
The cost of books will vary according to the programs being studied. In general, students are expected to have their own copies of text books. Books set for reference may be accessed in the Library and do not necessarily have to be bought.

The University of Adelaide Union runs Uni-books bookshop which supplies all prescribed text books and general books as well as stationery. Second hand books are often available.

If the program you are undertaking has some other costs involved such as excursions that are compulsory or other equipment such as microscopes, then generally, fees cannot be charged. Abstudy has a 'Living Away From Base' allowance for which students can apply prior to travel associated with study.

CASM
Students at CASM are expected to have their own instruments (or access to an instrument) for the purposes of personal practice and performance and are expected to bring their instruments to lessons and rehearsals as required.

Lists of required text books will be circulated by lecturers during Orientation Week and during lectures. In general, students are expected to have their own copies of texts, but advice should be sought from lecturers before purchases are made. Only the prescribed edition of any text book should be purchased. Books set for reference may be accessed in the Performance Library and do not necessarily have to be bought. Some texts are available for consultation at CASM.

Roseworthy
The Roseworthy Union has a book and stationary shop, and basic supplies can also be purchased at the Waite Campus.
