STAFFING
Moderator: Martin CrookREQUISITES
Pre-requisite: MUS2002 with "A" result or higher requiredRATIONALE
The development of practical musical ability is a fundamental part of any music program; performing ability in a solo situation is one of the individual's most important avenues for musical expression and the solo concerto (with accompaniment) is an excellent genre to develop this. Skill and experience in this genre is essential for students seeking a career path in the performing area.
SYNOPSIS
The course content will focus on the preparation and performance of a solo concerto in the student's main area of practical performance.
OBJECTIVES
On successful completion of this course students will have:
- further advanced their standard of performance in their chosen field of practical study;
- increased their knowledge of the literature of music by the study of a major work from the concerto repertoire relevant to their chosen field of practical study;
- developed an understanding of the ensemble implications of concerto performance.
TOPICS
| Description | Weighting (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | REPERTOIRE In consultation with the teacher during the first weeks of the semester, each student will be required to select a concerto from the 18th century which might be a Baroque or Classical work. The selected concerto must be approved by the teacher and Music Program Coordinator. As the length and difficulty of concertos from this period can vary considerably, more than one work or only selected movement(s) from the chosen work may be required to satisfy the course content. The concerto(s) will then form the basis of the student's work for semester and the assessment examination at the end of the semester. 1.1. CLASS AND TEACHER CRITICISM OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE In addition to the normal weekly lesson, students are required to participate in Master Class and Concert Practice classes as required by the teacher. 1.2. PERFORMANCE UNDER CONCERT HALL CONDITIONS Students are required to perform at campus Lunchtime Concerts and other performance outlets as required by the teacher and approved by the Music Program Coordinator. 1.3. PERFORMANCE UNDER EXAM CONDITIONS All students are required to present themselves for periodic formal assessment. This test will be held at the end of semester, during the official University Assessment period. The test will be a performance of the complete concerto. A student may request to have a campus Lunchtime Concert performance used in the formal assessment process. This request would be considered by the Teacher, Examiner and Music Program Coordinator. If granted, the date of the Lunchtime Concert performance would be mutually agreed by all parties concerned; however the performance would not necessarily occur in the official University Assessment period. In either case the selected concerto (s) as agreed between the student, teacher and Music Program Coordinator will form the basis of this assessment. | 100.00 |

IMPORTANT ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
- Attendance requirements:
It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. Attendance and participation in scheduled individual lessons, instrumental classes and Concert Practice is necessary to meet objectives 1 and 2 of this course and is therefore a requirement. Failure to attend/participate in at least 80% of these classes will result in a 10% deduction from the final course mark unless there are substantiated reasons for non attendance (eg medical certificate). Failure to perform as scheduled in Concert Practice or public concerts (without substantiated reason as above) will result in a "Fail" grade. - Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
To successfully complete an individual assessment item, a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks or a grade of at least C-. This statement must be read in conjunction with Statement 4 below. - Penalties for late submission of required work:
Not applicable. - Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
To be assured of receiving a passing grade, a student must achieve at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course. - Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course. - Examination information:
There is no exam for this course. There is a practical test. - Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
Given the details under (6) above, there are no deferred exams for this course. However, if any deferred/makeup work is granted, it would have to be submitted by a date set by the examiner. - University Regulations:
Students should read USQ Regulations 5.1 Definitions, 5.6 Assessment, and 5.10 Academic Misconduct for further information and to avoid actions which might contravene University Regulations. These regulations can be found at the URL http://www.usq.edu.au/corporateservices/calendar/part5.htm

(b) All Faculty of Arts assignments must be lodged in the Faculty Assessment Centre on the Ground Floor of Q Block no later than 12 noon on the due date. (c) In the event that a due date for an assignment falls on a local public holiday in their area, such as a Show holiday, the due date for the assignment will be the next day. Students are to note on the assignment cover the date of the public holiday for the examiner's convenience. (d). Students must retain a copy of each item submitted for assessment.

(e) In accordance with University's Assignment Extension Policy (Regulation 5.6.1), the examiner of a course may grant an extension of the due date of an assignment in extenuating circumstances such as documented ill-health. (f) Students who have undertaken all of the required assessments in the course but who have failed to meet some of the specified objectives of the course within the normally prescribed time may be awarded the temporary grade: IM (Incomplete-Makeup). An IM grade will only be awarded when, in the opinion of the examiner, a student will be able to achieve the remaining objectives of the course after a period of non-directed personal study. (g) Students who, for medical, family/personal, or employment-related reasons, are unable to complete an assignment or sit for an examination at the scheduled time, may apply to defer an assessment in the course. Such a request must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation.
