Aims

Instrumental/Vocal Technique 2 aims to further develop specific vocal and instrumental skills and techniques as detailed in the instrumental and vocal syllabi. In addition, general performance related skills (i.e. study, rehearsal, preparation and presentation skills) will be further developed. A more detailed understanding of a range of performance related subjects (style/genre, interpretation, and improvisation) will be developed to further enhance performance.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Demonstrate an advanced level of engagement with instrumental/vocal practice, study, rehearsal, preparation, presentation and performance techniques through daily/weekly study, practice and documenting feedback and subsequent actions taken.
2.
Display an advanced level of musical and technical proficiency in performing scales, modes, chords, sight reading, improvisation/interpretation and prescribed technical exercises.
3.
Perform confidently, demonstrating high-level performance, improvisation/interpretation skills in a variety of musical styles, genres and settings.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Students continue to engage in a disciplined practice regime under the tutelage of vocal or instrumental specialist tutors, following the curriculum laid out in the individual instrument or vocal syllabi. This is enhanced by further group vocal workshops or group improvisation workshops.
Module Overview:
Twenty four hours of weekly one-to-one vocal or instrumental tuition lead to assessments of both pieces and technical exercises. These are supported by 1.5 hour weekly improvisation workshops for instrumentalists and vocal repertory workshops for vocalists.
