This nationally-recognised qualification is designed for musicians who wish to develop their skills in performance and widen their musical background. Classes are structured to provide training in the industry areas of aural, theory, ensemble, performance, history, and music industry. It is expected and strongly recommended that students maintain one-on-one musical tuition on a private basis. These lessons should be sufficient for students to develop their skills to complete the performance element of this course, as well as be competitive at audition for work or further study.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
