    DESCRIPTION:
    The course offers individual instrumental/vocal instruction, developing musical understanding, creativity and a range of technical and interpretive skills. In addition to weekly lessons, students gain valuable presentation experience at the Music Forum Performance Lab. The minimum standard of proficiency as reflected in repertoire selections is aligned, but not limited to ABRSM Grade 7. More advanced repertoire is encouraged and may be selected from other sources.

    RATIONALE:

The study of performance cultivates mind-body coordination, physical skills involved in singing or playing an instrument, and artistic and critical awareness. Students develop perception, reasoning and judgment involved in preparing and presenting a performance. This is an essential course to a music performance program.
