Recommended Resources

Regular listening to a variety of performances is recommended. 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 In the Music Resources Guide:
http://libguides.adelaide.edu.au/music - you will find links to both Naxos and Naxos Jazz under “Quick Links” on the left side of the page.

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.

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

Individual or small-group (maximum 4) supervisions form the central teaching and learning mode. Students pursue their performance project using instrumental practice to advance and finesse their goals. Individual/small group discussion encourages testing and sharing of musical theory and practice as students move towards a summative assessment in the form of a recital. Staff concerned have skills and knowledge in the specialist area being developed and are able to assist in the location and use of appropriate materials and scholarly and/or performance conventions and standards. or small-group (maximum 4) supervisions form the central teaching and learning mode.

Staff concerned have skills and knowledge in the specialist area being developed and are able to assist in the location and use of appropriate materials and scholarly and/or performance conventions and standards.

Individual tuition lies at the core of developing advanced performing skills. The instrumental teacher monitors each student’s progress, diagnoses technical problems and suggests strategies for independent practice. The Technique & Repertoire class is managed by the relevant Head of Study and focuses on relevant technical and musical issues pertaining to the family of instruments. The Performance Class provides performance opportunities for each student. As part of each student’s engagement with their peers, students are expected to make critical comments about performances of peers in the Performance Class, as well as about their own performances. Students are also expected to maintain a written journal.

Honours Performance Classes are compulsory. They are held Tuesdays 11 - 1 in Elder Hall and the coordinator is Amanda Grigg. Dates will be published on MyUni at the beginning of semester 1 and you will be scheduled to perform.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

WORKLOAD - TOTAL HOURS

1 hour per week for 12 weeks individual/small group supervisions = 12 hours per semester

28 hours per week for 12 weeks practice = 364 hours per semester

9 hours per week for 12 weeks research/study = 117 hours per semester

10 hours per week for 12 weeks rehearsals and forums = 130 hours per semester

Total = 624 hours per semester

Learning Activities Summary

Learning activities centre around weekly individual/small group supervisions. These accommodate the learning styles of participants while encouraging a developmental curve in skills acquisition and knowledge based understandings. Ensemble rehearsals and performance forums underpin gains in stage presentation and musical projection.

12 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.

PGCW 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

Students are expected to perform at least once each semester in Performance class, Honours class and/or technique and repertoire classes

Specific Course Requirements

All scores of music being studied.

Students may need to regularly book practice facilities in order to meet the requirements of this course.

Depending on practical specialisation, some students will need to engage the services of a professional accompanist for lessons, performances and examinations. Consult with your indiviual teacher regarding accompanist lists.

Small Group Discovery Experience

All individual/small group supervisions (maximum 4) adhere to SGDE principles with students actively engaged in content building and discovery.
Tutorials for ensembles and performance classes

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

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.

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.
