Requisites

Pre-requisite: Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: MSTA or MARA

Rationale

Each musician is ultimately individually responsible for the quality of the technical and musical skills they bring to any musical situation. The individual practice of music is vital to acquiring and developing these skills. The ability to articulate a framework for practice and work consistently is crucial to any musician’s development and for establishing a pattern for lifelong learning.

Synopsis

Students continue to develop a framework for productive, meaningful and relevant independent practice as initiated in the BCAR program. Through intensive workshops, individual lessons and reflection, students are guided to work independently to establish and achieve their musical and technical goals at an advanced level.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course students should be able to demonstrate:

  1. examine at an advanced level the skills and knowledge required for the individual practice of music;
  2. develop, research, evaluate and apply a framework at an advanced level for independent practice;
  3. apply the skills relevant to independent practice at an advanced level;
  4. work independently at an advanced level to develop their own individual practice and thereby their musical and technical skills;
  5. use reflection at an advanced level as an aid to practice and learning.
