MUSHONS 4006B - Honours Music Major Project Part 2

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2020

The primary purpose of this course is to provide students with the skills and understanding to produce a significant written or performed project relevant to their specialisation. This will involve a performed program of approximately 50 minutes duration plus a 3000 word Exegesis, or a written paper of approximately 12,000 words or original composition of equivalent musical significance. Projects must demonstrate familiarity with and skills in the formulation of appropriate creative ideas bearing upon the specialisation concerned and deemed to be at Honours level. Preparatory work will be supervised individually or in small groups as approved by the Conservatorium and will involve the student in considerable time spent developing specialist knowledge, skills and insights bearing upon the project to be completed. Focused research and the development of finessed creative output are at the heart of this project. To assist with the completion of the project student study will include individual or small group (maximum 4 students) supervisions/lessons directed by specialist conservatorium staff.

    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Individual or small-group (maximum 4) supervisions form the central teaching and learning mode. Students pursue their particular project using individual research and/or instrumental practice to advance and finesse their goals. Individual/small group discussion encourages testing and sharing of musical theory and practice as students move towards a summative assessment in the form of a recital and exegesis, or written paper. Staff concerned have skills and knowledge in the specialist area being developed and are able to assist in the location and use of appropriate materials and scholarly and/or performance conventions and standards.

    Learning activities centre around weekly individual/small group supervisions. These accommodate the learning styles of participants
    while encouraging a developmental curve in skills acquisition and knowledge based understandings. In performance specialisations ensemble rehearsals and performance forums underpin gains in stage presentation and musical projection while seminars assist with research for an Exegesis.
    Specific Course Requirements
    Please refer to myuni for information regarding each specialisation.
    Small Group Discovery Experience
    All individual/small group supervisions (maximum 4) adhere to SGDE principles with performance and non-performance students actively engaged in content building and discovery.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Detail
    For students in the performance specialisations the Major Recital (75%) forms a core component, providing a focus for their studies in research and performance skills leading to outcomes in their own realisation of musical works. The Exegesis (25%) encourages complementary perspectives on the Major Recital works and carries the added requirement to observe normal scholarly conventions of research writing. For non-performance specialisations the written paper or original score(s) (100%) provide a similar focus for the development of research or composition skills and understanding.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
