performance 101
* Including students with disabilities
These classes are specifically for Steelpan players and Percussionists.
Students will be required to give a lecture for one of the recitals, in which they explain the historical context or music theory or compositional issues involved in the piece or pieces. This approach, called a "lecture-recital", is designed to give students experience explaining and contextualizing the pieces that they perform. This skill is important for performers, because many performers also teach or coach students.
The Performance 101 Course is a one-year full-time course designed to
(a) train students as instrumental of the highest calibre and
(b) enable students to perform confidently in a wide variety
of teaching and playing situations.
The primary emphasis is on practical study, both solo and ensemble, supported by classes in musicianship and related studies.
This course contains an academic component that supports
any aspiring teacher’s knowledge.
