Music performance (Group)

Course summary

Students will follow one of two specialist pathways: performance or music technology. They will all complete a core unit in their specialism and choose from a range of options for the remaining units. This course offers students the ability to gain skills and knowledge in performing, composing, and in music technology and production, depending on which units are chosen. For performers the course broadens experience and skills in solo and ensemble performing and will also include workshop sessions and units in rehearsal skills and live music performance, recorded music performance, improvisation and auditioning. For those interested in music technology the course provides opportunities for students to learn advanced skills in live sound recording, music sequencing and production, mixing, mastering, using effects, processors, EQ and filters. There may be some overlap between the pathways depending on which non-core units the student chooses, and in the core units students will work together on larger projects involving live performances and recordings.
