Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Individual supervisions form the central teaching and learning mode. Students pursue their performance project using instrumental practice and independent research 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 lecture recital. Staff concerned have expert 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.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
12 x 1-hour 1:1 lessons, 12 hours per semester
12 x 1-hour performance forum, 12 hours per semester
10 hours per week rehearsals, forums, concert observation, lesson observation. 120 hours per semester
10 hours per week research/study/writing 120 hours per semester
2 hours per week listening to recordings/analysing scores 24 hours per semester
28 hours per week practice 336 hours per semester
TOTAL = 624 hours per semesterLearning Activities Summary
Weeks 1-12 per Semester: 1:1 supervisions and weekly performance classes.
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. Ensemble rehearsals and performance forums underpin gains in stage presentation and musical projection. Students also observe other lessons in order to broaden their understanding of the learning process on their instrument, and reflect upon their overall experiences in a weekly Journal. -
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
35-minute Recital, Summative and Formative 40% 1–8
15-minute Lecture Demonstration, Summative and Formative 20% 1–8
Program Notes Summative 10% 2, 3, 4, 6
Reflective Log Journal Summative and Formative 30% 1–8
Assessment Related Requirements
The 35-minute recital must be successfully completed in order to complete the course. Attendance is compulsory for all supervisions, forums and ensembles.Assessment Detail
The Recital (40%) and Lecture Demonstration (20%) are the core components, providing a focus for their studies in integrating professional performance skills and pedagogical understanding. Students will perform key works for their instrument, and will also deliver a clear and informative discussion on the pedagogical importance of these works in the overall body of work for their instrument. This can include a discussion of the technical, stylistic or interpretative challenges of the works, and of how students can best be guided to address these challenges.
Program notes (10%) are required for the Recital. Notes should be prepared for each work performed and should demonstrate careful research and independent thought, with consideration given to each work’s musical content, stylistic context and pedagogical significance. Plagiarism must be avoided and quoted sources should be acknowledged.
Reflective Journal (30%): Students are required to provide a reflective log journal in which they record and analyse their learning experiences throughout the semester. Further details will be provided on the MyUni website.Submission
Reflective Journal and Program Notes are to be submitted online through the MyUni website. 2 copies of the Program Notes are to be submitted to the examiners at the date of the Lecture Recital.Course Grading

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.

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.
