Chamber music repertoire is studied with either with a new ensemble or a continuing ensemble. Musical, technical and communication skills are developed further.

Chamber music 3 involves the ongoing development of key musical and ensemble skills. The essential entrepreneurial ability to produce and promote concerts is encouraged as a natural extension of working in a chamber music group and creating a niche in the marketplace. Concert and tour opportunities may be offered to assist in this process.

This semester will mark the end of chamber music studies for some students and is compulsory. The achievement of a high standard of professional preparation, rehearsal and performance will be expected and progress will be evaluated. Students will participate in Composer Performer Workshop either as an individual or as a group. The Composer Performer Workshop provides both composers and performers with the opportunity to work together in the performance of new and experimental works.

Students are expected to have reached more advanced levels of preparation, rehearsal and performance skills. Major repertoire should be studied, including contemporary and Australian chamber works. Students are required to sign up with an established group or present a satisfactory group for approval.

Groups are expected to show some initiative in liaising with the musical community outside the Conservatorium. Emphasis is placed on thoughtful programming, effective audience communication and convincing performance techniques. Students will be encouraged to investigate new repertoire, commission new works, promote themselves and seek out performance opportunities.

The essential techniques of chamber music performance are 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. By now many students are performing with well-established combinations of players and building a professional profile.

A final semester of intensive chamber music study before entering the profession or undertaking periods of postgraduate study. Repertoire is extended further; 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.

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.

This unit of study presents students with an opportunity to learn the theory and to experience the nuts and bolts of historically informed performance (HIP). Today's performers need to be able to navigate their way through a wide variety of styles, genres and modes of performance. HIP is a growth area globally, which influences the style of performance of period and modern instrument ensembles and vocalists. Here in Australia, for example, the ACO requires its members to have a keen awareness of HIP conventions in repertoire ranging from 1600-1900. Students will explore readings from primary and secondary written sources, recordings (including historical recordings) and will learn how to apply their findings to repertoire spanning the high-Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Mini-lectures are combined with demonstrations of HIP style, peer-led discussions and practical workshops.
