On successful completion of this course students will be able to:


1.Exhibit technical and musical skills that, through accuracy, fluency and stylistic awareness, illustrate a strong and maturing conceptual and interpretative understanding of the student’s instrument and chosen repertoire.


2.Exhibit effective practising strategies which arise from independent, imaginative and creative approaches to problem solving including the use of contemporary technologies


3.Manifest critical understanding of the performance standards required for professional endeavour and an ability to assess one’s own performances and those of fellow musicians


4.Exhibit skills in performance etiquette, communication and interaction with an audience.


5.Exhibit curiosity, self-awareness and problem-solving skills that will enable continuous learning and growth.

 

 

As appropriate for practical specialisation:

1. Scores of repertoire prescribed by instrumental teacher (Elder Music Library houses an excellent collection of scores available for loan to students). Original copies of the music must be used for examinations.

2. Technical workbooks as required by instrumental teacher for your specific instrument specialisation.

3. Engagement of the services of a professional accompanist for lessons (where required), performance examinations and other performances.

4. A good quality recording device to record practice and performances on a regular basis.

5. Metronome, tuner, pencil & eraser, ear plugs - as needed

 Regular listening to a wide range of performances. Students can listen to works through the library's Naxos subscription (see library catalogue, search using Naxos as the title and limit search to ‘electronic resources’. You will be prompted to enter your uni ID number and password to access the Naxos catalogue). There is a wealth of material available for listening (but not downloading). The link to the Naxos catalogue is as follows:

The Music Resources Guide 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.

Each component will have its own schedule of lessons, classes and topics to be covered as applicable to the particular aspect of the activity being undertaken. Students will be advised in advance of repertoire to be studied, and of the topics to be included as relevant for the various specialisations.

Individual Tuition 
14 hours per semester, students are expected to be punctual and prepared for each lesson. The expectation is for students to develop private structured learning.

Students are expected to maintain 100% attendance at one to one lessons. See below for penalties.

Lessons should not be scheduled at times that conflict with any other required classes.

At each lesson, both the staff member and the student must sign the roll sheet, indicating the date and length of the lesson.

Should a student be absent without notice, the roll sheet must be signed by the staff member with an appropriate comment. The Head of Studies should be notified (preferably by email) within 48 hours. The teacher will be under no obligation to make up this lesson.

Where either the teacher or the student is unable to attend at a previously arranged time, at least 24 hours notice must be given and an alternative time negotiated.

Bachelor of Music students may need to be available outside the formally designated teaching weeks in order to accommodate the full quota of lessons.

Students are expected to research the background of the composer and pieces being studied.

Independent Practice
Students prepare and practise all repertoire, technical exercises and other material assigned by their instrumental teacher for at least three hours per day.

Performance Class
Up to 12 hours per semester

Students are expected to perform at least once each semester and will be assessed on their performance

Technique and Repertoire
Up to 14 hours of classes each semester

Students are expected to perform regularly in various contexts of solo repertoire, mock orchestral auditions and other designated repertoire


Students will prepare for a technical assessment at the end of the semester. The technical work requirements will be provided at the beginning of the academic year

Individual 1:1 tuition - 1 hour per week
12 hours per semester

In addition to the required contact hours, students are expected to prepare and practise all repertoire, technical exercises and other material assigned by their instrumental teacher. These structured learning skills prepare the student for ensuring that the material set for 1:1 lessons is prepared. Students should note however, that the demands of the music profession are such that considerably more time should be spent in private instrumental practice.

Assessment-related requirements

In this course, penalties apply for any absences which are not formally approved, as outlined in the Conservatorium’s Student Participation and Attendance Leave Guidelines (see following). Leave Application forms are available from the Music Office and can be downloaded from the Music website – see http://music.adelaide.edu.au/study/current/leave.pdf. 

Student Participation and Attendance Leave Guidelines

EXPECTATION

All students enrolled in courses taught by the Elder Conservatorium of Music are expected to actively and positively participate in 100% of required rehearsals, workshops, classes, lectures, tutorials and performances. In courses where Participation & Attendance penalties apply (as defined in the Course Outline), any student who misses more than 40% of required classes will be ineligible for assessment in that course, irrespective of the amount of leave that has been formally approved.

 LEAVE

The Conservatorium recognises that extenuating circumstances may occasionally affect a student’s ability to participate in a rehearsal, workshop, class, lecture, tutorial or performance. In such cases Leave may, upon application using this Leave form, be approved by the relevant staff member (this could be the Head of Studies, teacher, conductor, lecturer or course coordinator as appropriate).

 
The following types of Leave are applicable:

1.Sick Leave 聳 In cases of sickness, the Leave form must be submitted within 7 days of your return to classes.

  Students must make every effort to notify the relevant staff member of an impending absence for reasons of sickness. Where a rehearsal or performance is involved, Leave will only be approved if the relevant staff member is notified before the event.

  Normally, an original medical certificate must be supplied with the Leave form to verify the circumstances. The relevant staff member or Head of Studies in cases of absences involving multiple activities or days may waive the requirement to produce a medical certificate if they have clear evidence of illness and believe that a medical certificate is unnecessary or impossible to obtain.. The Leave form will need to be initialled as part of the notification or approval process in this case.

 
2.Compassionate Leave âÂ聳 Compassionate Leave may be granted at the discretion of the relevant staff member where extenuating circumstances have prevented a student participating in a rehearsal, workshop, class, lecture, tutorial or performance. Usually this means circumstances which were unforeseen and legitimately beyond anyone’s control, however this will not always be the case.

  Where the circumstance is known in advance, approval for the Leave must also be obtained prior to the event.

  In cases such as bereavement or where care of a close family member is required, notification as soon as possible is expected and the form must be submitted within 7 days of your return to classes.

  Verification of the circumstances will usually be required.

 
3.Professional Development Leave âÂ聳 Professional Development (PD) Leave may be granted in cases where the student has made a case to the relevant Head of Studies for an activity which they believe will be of considerable professional and educational benefit. This activity should: âÂ聴¦be directly related to Coursework within your Conservatorium program or

 聴¦involve Coursework or study at a major tertiary national or international music institution or

聴¦involve Performance, Workshops or other relationships and activities with a high profile, national or international artist(s)

 

聳 When determining PD leave, the duration of the project also affects approval, particularly for absences greater than one week.

  PD leave will not be granted if the proposed activity conflicts with any commitments a student has to a Conservatorium performance where their attendance at rehearsals and the performance itself are a required part of their studies.

  PD Leave is only granted in advance of the activity (normally at least 7 days prior). It will NOT be granted retrospectively.

 聳 Final arrangements for any professional development commitments must wait until formal approval has been granted by the Head of Studies and then all signatures of relevant staff members are obtained. Approval is not necessarily guaranteed.

 Verification will be required as part of the approval process and must be supplied with this form.

 

LEAVE APPLICATIONS
Leave applications may be made following the steps below;

Step 1: OBTAIN APPROVAL / NOTIFY STAFF
Depending on the leave required, obtain approval or notify the relevant staff member(s) and where appropriate, Head of Studies regarding your absence as soon as possible. Note that prior approval is required for any Professional Development Leave.

Step 2: VERIFYING ABSENCE
Check with the relevant staff member or Head of Studies to see whether verification or proof will be required. (Please note that this is usually essential.)

Step 3: ATTACHING CERTIFICATION
Attach any certification you have been asked to provide.

Step 4: MAKE COPIES
Keep copies of any relevant documentation for your records.

PENALTIES
Penalties apply for any unapproved absences as follows:

INDIVIDUAL LESSONS, TECHNIQUE and REPERTOIRE CLASSES and PERFORMANCE CLASSES
Absence - 5 (five) marks for each unapproved absence for lessons and classes.

Any unapproved absences from an individual instrumental/vocal lessons will result in a 5 (five) mark penalty for each unapproved absence. Any penalties will be applied to the final total performance mark for the year - 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 discretion of the relevant teacher or Head of Studies, be regarded as an unapproved absence.

Failure to notify the relevant instrumental teacher at least 24 hours in advance of an impending absence or late arrival will also be regarded as an unapproved absence. This penalty may be waived if the teacher or Head of Studies is convinced that extenuating circumstances were the cause of the absence or lateness. In such cases it is the student’s responsibility to show that extenuating circumstances are applicable.

The Conservatorium recognises that extenuating circumstances may occasionally affect a student’s ability to participate in a rehearsal, workshop, class, lecture, tutorial or performance. In such cases Leave may, upon application, be approved by the relevant staff member (this could be the Head of Studies, teacher, conductor, lecturer or course coordinator as appropriate).

Students should refer to their specialist Guidelines for detailed technical and repertoire information.
