The course is taught through individual lessons, group studio classes including individual instrumental/voice classes and Performance Hour, choir and orchestra participation, experience in public performing, and the opportunity to attend concerts of professional musicians. Your progress and level of preparation are monitored at lessons, instrumental classes, Performance Hour sessions, end-of-trimester test and public performances. Experience in stage management and ushering is also part of the course, as is preparation of programme notes, email correspondence, and other tasks involved with performance preparation.

Lessons:

NB - Classes will be taking place in person in the first week of B trimester, on campus in workshop style.

50min weekly lesson times will be arranged with your individual tutor/lecture. Students will receive a maximum of 12 lessons per trimester. In some cases teachers will give some of your lesson time in shared classes. You must attend these classes as well as your lessons. Note that some individual instrumental lessons may take place off campus.

Instrumental/Voice Class: Times will be arranged at the beginning of the trimester. Attendance is compulsory.

Compulsory requirement: ALL students enrolled in the BMus performance programme must join the University Chamber Choir or the University Orchestra. Attendance at all rehearsals and performances by the orchestra or choir as appropriate is compulsory. Failure to fulfil this requirement will constitute a failure to complete the requirements of this course. Attendance rolls will be kept by the choir and orchestra directors. Students can enrol in MUSIC227 Performance Ensemble 1 to gain credit if they choose, but participation is required with or without the enrolment in MUSIC227.

Performance Hour:

You are required to attend these sessions, contribute to the discussions, and perform regularly (1-2 times per trimester) as directed by your performance teacher. All students are rostered to give a short performance at least once per semester, and information on when you are required to do so is in the Google Calendar “Music Student Information Calendar”. To sign up for further performances at performance hour and selected other university performances, use the ‘Friday Performance Class and Resthome booking’ calendar. If you have been signed up by staff members to perform in other concerts, this can be viewed in the ‘Music Student Information Calendar. To have these calendars added to your account, please email either your university or a gmail email address to an administrator. Note any work presented in Performance hour must have been already performed in an instrumental class.

CONCERT ATTENDANCE

Students studying music are reminded of the importance of attending concerts. In particular, all music students are expected to attend:

  • Wednesday Lunchtime Recital Series in the Concert Chamber
  • Hamilton Chamber Music Society programme
  • New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
  • All other Conservatorium of Music events, seminars, masterclasses and concerts

Radio NZ Concert provides a wide repertoire of recorded Western music as well as many interesting talks on musical matters (91.4MHz)

Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:

  • Sound, Technique and Expression

    The learning outcomes for this course should see the student achieve a level of technical fluency and ease that allows for a clear demonstration of technical expertise as well as the ability to perform musically with flair and personal expressiveness.

    This second semester paper presents a performance based focus to your studies, building on the more technical focus developed in the first semester. These technical elements will be developed in the context of performance, and the student should be able to demonstrate these issues to a satisfactory level at the final exam. There may be opportunities for the performance tutors to talk about and work on musical ideas, styles and expressions, with works being presented in a complete performance exam.

    Linked to the following assessments:
  • Organisation, Music Learning and Time Management

    This semester will help the student to develop skills further in these fields, with an expectation that self guided study will begin to be established to a satisfactory level of the course level,

    The use of diaries, notebooks for note taking in classes, and rehearsal schedules are expected elements for a successful course completion.

You are also required to present programme notes, and copies of your music to the adjudicators for your recital, presented well in a bound folio.

You will be graded on technical achievement, musical understanding, and presentation. The following qualities will be examined in order to ascertain technical achievement; posture, breath control, tone quality, rhythmic understanding, intonation, understanding and execution of technique as appropriate to the works being performed (ie appropriate bowing technique, shifting). The Vocal Stream will also be assessed on diction of works, in English, and any other languages performed.
