Synopsis

This course is designed to help students transition into the study of music at university level. Taught by staff possessing expertise in a wide range of musical skills, students are exposed to different genres, instruments, ensemble configurations and performance situations in real time or via the StudyDesk.

Students will undertake musical cross-training within a group dynamic as well as gaining the requisite knowledge and skills and the application of technique specific to their solo instrument as it relates to performing in a contemporary ensemble, or where appropriate, performing as a lead instrument.
