This UoS will give vocal and instrumental students both theoretical and practical experience in pre-Baroque European music. Students will examine the basics of sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century performance practice, discover how the sixteenth-century musical mind approached art, and understand how perceptions of the music of this period are coloured by modern aesthetics. Students will learn about and apply practices elucidated in a range of historical written texts to sacred and secular ensemble music of the era, using historically appropriate instruments and/or techniques.

In this unit of study students learn to perform a repertoire of Balinese pieces of music on the Conservatorium's Balinese gamelan instruments.

This unit of study is an elective course in rhythm that introduces students to a broad range of material, including case studies of influential local and international approaches to rhythm construction, and overviews of various rhythmic traditions from Asia, Latin America, the USA, Africa, and India. Without doubt, rhythm has become the primary organisational tool in contemporary jazz performance, with many of the world's most influential jazz artists now employing complex rhythmic structures, odd-time signatures, odd-rhythmic groupings, metric modulations, as well as rhythmic models from traditional music styles, as basic structural frameworks and improvisational prompts.

This unit of study is an integrated approach to live music performance that includes practical and research components. Students participate in solo and ensemble situations in weekly lunchtime concerts. Constructive feedback by peers is a significant part of this course and participants trace their own development in weekly reflective journals. Music of all genres (including classical, experimental, popular, jazz and world music), instruments and voice types are accepted, and collaboration across musical traditions is strongly encouraged. A number of seminars dealing with specific key issues are interspersed throughout this unit of study, including performance stress, technical and psychological preparation, ensemble communication and audience perception. Auditions are held during 'O Week' and Week 1 of semester. Please contact the Arts Music Unit Student Administration office on 9351 2923 for further information.

Students will be expected to have reached more advanced levels of preparation, rehearsal and performance. They should be studying major repertoire including contemporary and Australian chamber works. Students will not be permitted to continue unless they are in an established group or are able to present a satisfactory group for approval.

Groups will be expected to show some initiative in liaising with the profession and the musical community outside the Conservatorium. Emphasis is placed on programming and audience communication through programming and stage performance techniques. Students will be encouraged to investigate new repertoire, commission new works, experiment with programming and promotion and seek out performance opportunities.

Students will be encouraged to investigate the depth and breadth of their repertoire and to remedy this where appropriate. The essential techniques of chamber music performance will be re-evaluated in the light of an extended period of study in the previous three years. Groups should seek out opportunities for residencies, festivals, recordings, master classes and other intensive programs. Many will now be in well-established combinations building a professional profile.

A final semester of study before students enter the profession or undertake periods of post-graduate study. Repertoire is further extended; works studied earlier may be revisited in the light of more greater experience and maturity. Established groups are encouraged to make their final performance a major public event providing a launch into the profession. Assistance may be given to achieve this.
