Course programme
Your course will cover a wide variety of activities during the day with the morning activities based on analysis and practice while the afternoon session will place more emphasis on performance.
The course will explore topics such as:
• Musicianship and practice skills
• Understanding and applying theory
• Composition and arranging for small and medium ensembles
• Developing ensemble skills (rehearsal and performance)
• Developing improvisation
• Promoting yourself within the local and wider jazz scene
Performance opportunities will be available through college activities and links with local venues. The RACC music technology recording facilities will be available to record some performances and rehearsals.
Assessment Methods:
There is the option to work towards the Trinity College ATCL Performance diploma- this will demand a substantial amount of written course work and a separate performance examination (note there will be an additional cost for taking this examination).
If you are not taking the Trinity College ATCL Performance diploma, there will be no formal assessment on this course although you will be able to identify individual goals and later reflect on your development.
Your tutor will assess all students’ learning and progress through the practical nature of the classes and will give continuous verbal feedback to help you improve.
