MUSEP 2103 - Music Education Performance Studies 2
North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2021
Students will receive training in key skills relating to professional performance standards as an instrumentalist, alongside developing an understanding of how to develop these skills in others. They will further develop their individual skill level as practising musicians, alongside their understanding of the key pedagogical principles involved in teaching instrumental music. All students will also gain ensemble experience in one of the Conservatorium's ensembles. Through involvement in rehearsals in which students gain experience with professional ensemble directors, students will develop effective practising strategies, rehearsal discipline and creative approaches to problem solving. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of teamwork, an awareness of professional standards and expectations, and be given opportunities to build effective working relationships with colleagues. Central to the course is a focus on professional standards and expectations, with students building upon the learning established in Level I Music Education Performance Studies.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary

2. Teaching materials assignment: 20%, Course Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 4, 6
3. Assessment of ensemble participation: 50%, Course Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 4Assessment Related Requirements

Leave Application forms are available from the Music Office and can be downloaded from the Music website – see Student Participation and Attendance Leave Guidelines
EXPECTATION All students enrolled in courses taught by the Elder Conservatorium of Music are expected to actively and positively participate in 100% of required rehearsals, workshops, tutorial and performances. In courses where Participation & Attendance penalties apply (as defined in the Course Outline), any student who misses more than 40% of required classes will be ineligible for assessment in that course, irrespective of the amount of leave that has been formally approved.
LEAVE The Conservatorium recognises that extenuating circumstances may occasionally affect a student’s ability to participate in a rehearsal, workshop, tutorial or performance. In such cases Leave may, upon application using this Leave form, be approved by the relevant staff member (this could be the Head of Studies, teacher, conductor, lecturer or course coordinator as appropriate).Assessment Detail

Ensemble Assessment: Students will be assessed based on their participation in class ensemble related activities. This will involve part testing on two separate occasions on ensemble music (on the student’s individual instrument), which will be assessed online, either through a Zoom session or through the upload of a file. Students will also be asked to engage with analysis of scores and discussion groups.
Students will be notified through MyUni with the details of the dates and repertoire for their part testing, and also will be notified of the participatory activities for each week of Semester.

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.
