Notes

Synopsis

This unit consolidates advanced skills in music performance developed in ATS2123 Performance 4. Students further develop technical and performance skills by studying technically focused repertoire drawn from the literature of the student's principal instrument or voice. The choice of repertoire should consolidate and go beyond the level of skills attained in ATS2123 Performance 4. This prepares students for the repertoire-based focus of the final unit in the sequence, ATS3137 Performance 6.

Outcomes

Upon completion of this unit, students are able to:

  1. Demonstrate advanced instrumental/vocal technique beyond the level attained after completing ATS2123 Performance 4;
  2. Demonstrate this achievement through extended control of rhythm, accuracy, articulation, tone quality and intonation (if applicable) through performance of appropriate technical work and repertoire;
  3. Demonstrate an extended knowledge of relevant repertoire, especially that which is technical in emphasis, through preparation of technical work, etudes and vocal/instrumental literature of greater difficulty and complexity than that studied in ATS2122 Performance 3 and ATS2123 Performance 4;
  4. Demonstrate further refinement of musicianship through sophistication of phrasing, dynamic control and general expression beyond the level attained in ATS2123 Performance 4.
