What will be in the course

Students develop and extend their practical music-making skills through performing works for instrument(s) and/or voice. They apply their musical understanding, skills, technique, and accuracy in refining and performing music, and in developing stage presence and the appropriate performance conventions in engaging an audience. Students analyse their chosen repertoire, and critique strategies to develop their performances, and reflect on and evaluate their performances as a soloist. They apply their knowledge and understanding of the style, structure, and conventions appropriate to their chosen repertoire, in crafting their musical performances, in creating a stylistic interpretation, in developing their musical imagination, and in communicating their own ideas about and appreciation of music.
