Module description

Instrumentalists and Vocalists: Regular individual tuition (22 hours in total) and practice; occasional seminars on programming, presentation and other general matters.
Accompanists: As for instrumentalists, but focused on the role of accompanist rather than soloist.
In all cases the module focuses on developing the skills and techniques needed by a solo performer (instrumentalist, singer, conductor) to perform successfully music of a high level of technical and interpretive difficulty.
For all students an opportunity to perform in a lunchtime concert in the Spring term is offered but not examined.
