At third year and above, technical development is incorporated into the preparation of the repertoire; instructors will assign a variety of repertoire appropriate to the specific needs of each student.

 

2. Repertoire, Studies, Technical Exercises and Vocalises

These will be selected by the instructor as appropriate.

 

3. Quick Study

One quick study is to be performed at the jury examination.

 

4. Other Materials

Orchestral excerpts, special techniques, transposition, etc. to be introduced at the discretion of the instructor.

 

5. Performance and Attendance at Recitals and Master classes

  • Students are required to perform in at least one student recital.
  • Students are required to attend all student recitals in their own division (i.e., piano, voice, woodwinds, brass and percussion, guitar and strings.
Learning Activities

The student will receive one hour of private instruction per week for 10 weeks and will be required to practice adequately as specified by the instructor.

Means of Assessment

a) 70% of the total mark will be allotted by the instructor on the basis of weekly achievement in the various

    aspects of the course. This will be recorded by the instructor at the conclusion of each lesson. Factors to be

    considered are progress, punctuality and attendance, musicianship and completion of the minimum

    requirements.

 

b) 30% of the total mark will be based on a jury examination which two members of the music faculty will

    adjudicate.

 

c) Up to 10% of the total mark will be deducted for unsatisfactory participation in recitals and master classes.

    The following explains the grading calculation:

    5% is deducted for failure to perform

    1% is deducted for each absence from the Arts at One series

    If a student has not attended the required number of divisional recitals, 1% is deducted for each absence.

    1% is added for each additional performance and/or accompaniment above the minimum. This addition will

    only offset marks that have been deducted.

    For piano concentrators, 1% is deducted for failure to accompany.

The successful student should learn the interpretation and performance of repertoire and technical requirements as outlined in the Course Content.
