Studio Instruction - Performance (1hr) I
Overview
For Performance Students
- Technique: Students will work on technique appropriate to their instrument and to their level and ability, through the assignment of studies, etudes and/or exercises by the instructor.
- Repertoire: Will be assigned by the instructor at a level appropriate to the student's level and ability.
- Sight Reading exercises: May be assigned by the instructor at a level appropriate to the student's level and ability.
- Other Materials: May be introduced at the discretion of the instructor.
- Performances: Students are required to perform in at least one student recital.
For Composition Students
- Techniques for the development of compositional skills and artistic judgment through the writing of assigned sketches and shorter pieces in a variety of selected styles and instrumental/vocal genres.
- The completion, preparation and performance of one major composition of approximately 4-8 minutes in duration.
- Presentation in at least one composition studio pod class.
The student will receive one hour of private instruction per week for 11 weeks and 6 hours per semester of studio pod (group) instruction.
The course evaluation is consistent with the Douglas College Evaluation Policy. 70% of the total mark will be allotted by the instructor on the basis of weekly progress in the various aspects of the course, and on performance level exhibited over the course of the semester. The instructor and student will discuss the student’s progress and performance level at regular intervals (minimum three times) during the semester, so that the student is aware of their current standing and what is expected.
30% of the total mark will be based on a juried examination, adjudicated by two members of the music faculty (performance students: performance on instrument of study; composition students: portfolio review).
The following is a sample grade breakdown:
15% Progress Evaluation #1 – Weeks 1-4 – technique, musicianship, performance level
15% Progress Evaluation #2 – Weeks 5-7 – technique, musicianship, performance level
15% Progress Evaluation #3 – Weeks 6-10 – technique, musicianship, performance level
25% Attitude and effort
30% Jury Exam
100% Total
Up to 10% of the total mark will be deducted for unfulfilled participation. The following explains the grading calculation:
Performance students are expected to perform in recital (on the student’s instrument of study). 5% is deducted if this requirement is not met.
Composition students are expected to have a piece of theirs performed in a recital or studio pod class. 5% is deducted if this requirement is not met.
1% is deducted for each absence from required department performances.
1% is deducted for each hour of absence from studio pod classes.
Piano concentrators are expected to accompany. 1% is deducted if this requirement is not met.
1% is added for each additional performance and/or accompaniment above the minimum. This addition will only offset marks that have been deducted.
The successful performance student will be able to interpret and perform repertoire of an appropriate level, and demonstrate technical requirements as outlined in the Course Content.
The successful composition student will be able to demonstrate compositional skills as outlined in the Course Content.
The instructor will recommend suitable materials.
