MUSEP 3102 - Music Education Performance Studies 3

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2021

All students will participate in a Music Education Choir/Ensemble, in which students will develop their singing, instrumental, ensemble and direction skills in a two hour weekly rehearsal. In Seminars students will explore the essential pedagogical principles underpinning professional standard choir/ensemble direction and rehearsal. They will explore core pedagogical repertoire that supports the sequential building of skills in student choirs/ ensembles, and will establish their own resource files of musical materials suitable for a variety of ages and ability levels. Students will be given opportunities to direct the choir/ensemble as well as to arrange music in a variety of styles. They will broaden their knowledge of varied genres of music as typically used in the profession, such as classical, jazz, pop, calypso, gospel and folk. Teaching methods that can maximise motivation, progress, concentration and focus within choral and instrumental ensembles will be discussed and explored in class.

Here too you can find a regularly updated list of new books, scores, CDs and DVDs available in the Elder Music Library. Music Online: Access to online music from library’s other Music Database (Music Online – incorporating Classical Music Library, Jazz Music Library, American Song, Contemporary World Music and Smithsonian Global Sound for Libraries) is now integrated in Library Search – just type the work you require into the general Library Search box and narrow down appropriately.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment of ensemble/ choir participation: 50% Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 5

    Portfolio of resource material for choir/ ensemble direction: 25% Course Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 5

    Directing class choir/ ensemble: 25% Course Learning Outcome 4


    Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.

    The Resources task is now to be submitted online instead of in Hard Copy form.

    The conducting and rehearsing task has been replaced with an analysis and oral presentation task relating to your arrangement: please see MyUni for the full details of this assignment.

Student Participation and Attendance Leave Guidelines

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, 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).

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

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