Aims

1. To increase awareness of, and ability to make judgements on, matters of intonation.

2. To develop understanding of the theory involved in tuning decisions and apply to their own performance development.

3. To develop practice methods for progressing technical areas for performance.

4. To increase awareness of relation between technique and repertoire choices.


Learning Outcomes

(LO1) Students will develop critical faculties and acuity of hearing

(LO2) Students will develop control and critical faculties on matters of intonation

(LO3) Students will develop control of their own intonation while playing/singing

(LO4) Students will communicate an understanding and knowledge of temperament and tuning systems.

(LO5) Students will develop technical areas of performance

(LO6) Students will develop practice methods suited to their individual progression

(S1) Problem solving/ critical thinking/ creativity analysing facts and situations and applying creative thinking to develop appropriate solutions.

(S2) Self-management readiness to accept responsibility (i.e. leadership), flexibility, resilience, self-starting, initiative, integrity, willingness to take risks, appropriate assertiveness, time management, readiness to improve own performance based on feedback/reflective learning

(S3) Communication skills.


Syllabus

 

The syllabus consists of two strands, each of which are organised around the needs and prior experience of students. Individual lessons and group sessions will develop students' technical skills on their own instrument through an appropriate choice of repertoire and development of practice methods. Group sessions/online activities will also develop students' listening skills through hands-on experience of aural work and understanding of historical tuning systems.
