In this major, all students receive individual lessons and specialist performance classes and participate in a large range of ensembles, which may include chamber music groups, the symphony orchestra, fully-staged operas and cutting-edge new music. Each stream has its own discrete specialist classes, for example, instrumentalists study chamber music, early and contemporary performance practices, while pianists study in solo repertoire, accompaniment and vocal coaching.
This unit set 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 unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
