RATIONALE:

The development of practical musical ability is a fundamental part  of
any   music  course;  performing  ability  is  the  individual's  most
important avenue for musical expression.

SYNOPSIS:

The  unit content will embrace both solo and group performance in  the
student's  area  of  practical performance  and  the  study  of  works
representative of various stylistic periods in that area of literature
of music.

Each   succeeding  unit  in  performance  will  require  students   to
demonstrate  a  greater degree of both conceptual and executant  skill
development.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will:

1. have advanced their standard of performance in their chosen
   field of practical study;
   
2. have increased their knowledge of the literature of music by
   the study of carefully selected works from the repertoire
   relevant to their chosen field of practical study;
   
3. have acquired skills in ensemble performance.
