The unit consolidates and extends advanced skills in music performance developed in ATS3136 Performance 5.

The choice of repertoire should consolidate and go beyond the level of skills attained in ATS3136 Performance 5.
Outcomes
Upon completion of the unit, students are able to:
- Demonstrate advanced instrumental/vocal technique beyond the level attained after completing ATS3136 Performance 5;
- Demonstrate this achievement through extended control of rhythm, accuracy, articulation, tone quality and intonation (if applicable) through performance of appropriate recital repertoire;
- Demonstrate a continuing development of knowledge of relevant repertoire, through preparation of specifically chosen works drawn from the literature of the students' instrument/voice of greater difficulty and complexity than that studied in ATS3136 Performance 5;
- Demonstrate further refinement of musicianship through sophistication of phrasing, dynamic control and general expression beyond the level attained in ATS3136 Performance 5.
