Contents

To function as community musicians, students must have a relevant and high degree of mastery of both their principal and secondary instruments. In this course, students will work on developing their own skills as performers, as facilitators for others playing their own principal instrument and in connection with band rotations. Music technology, vocal practice, ensemble play and aural skills are important building-blocks in the development of students' music-making, and are therefore integrated into the course.

The important themes in this course are:

§ Technology for practising and training arenas

§ Instrument training with room for specialisation and breadth

§ Theory/aural skills and ensemble play

§ Band rotation
