students
Designed to provide students with practical experience in the study, rehearsal and
performance of ensemble music. Through weekly rehearsals aspects of performance are
explored including intonation, ensemble skills (playing together precisely and
rhythmically), interpreting the gestures, mannerisms and wishes of a conductor or
ensemble leader, tone control as well as the ethics and correct behaviour expected of a
member of an ensemble. Other issues covered include the performance of individual and
sectional excerpts relevant to the particular area of specialisation. The repertoire for this
ensemble covers a wide range of styles from early Baroque through to contemporary
scores requiring new performance techniques. This unit will give students performance
experience of these styles over a cycle of four semesters. Students are required to attend
regular rehearsals, workshops, sectionals and performances as determined by the
coordinator.
