ATS2122 - Performance 3 - 2017

The unit consolidates intermediate skills in music performance developed in ATS1045 Performance 2. 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 ATS1045 Performance 2. This prepares students for the repertoire-based focus of the next unit in the sequence, ATS2123 Performance 4.

Upon completion of the unit, students are able to:

1. Demonstrate a continuing development of instrumental/vocal technique beyond the foundational level attained after completing ATS1045 Performance 2;
2. Demonstrate this development through growing control of rhythm, articulation, timbre and intonation (if applicable) through the performance of appropriate technical work;
3. Demonstrate a continuing development of knowledge of relevant repertoire, through preparation of technical work, etudes and instrumental/vocal literature that is of greater difficulty and complexity than that studied in ATS1044 Performance 1 and ATS1045 Performance 2;
4. Demonstrate continuing development of musicianship through sophistication of phrasing, dynamic control and general expression beyond that attained in ATS1045 Performance 2.
