Educational Aims
This elective aims to develop expertise in preparing and performing contemporary scores; to encourage curiosity and a level of familiarity with this area of repertoire and its cultural background; to give experience of working in duos and small ensembles; and to enable pianists to develop appropriate communication and interaction skills both with composers and in relation to audiences and performance partners.
Prerequisites
Only available to Year 4 piano students.
Teaching and learning methods
Pianists choosing this module can choose between a number of extant projects, each of which is worth 10 credits. These include the New Music Ensemble, Voiceworks, Composer Workshops, BBC Total Immersion events and the various opportunities for developing & performing new works written by the postgraduate composers.
The projects on offer will vary from year to year, but there will always be at least three to choose from. Each will have its own schedule of classes, coaching and rehearsal, and each will culminate in a performance, usually open to the public.
Assessment Methods
Each module will be assessed both through engagement with the project (40%), and through the final performance (60%).
