Music Performance: Expanding the Repertoire (9738.2)

This unit is typically the last phase of development before independent student projects. It further develops the student's collaborative skills, stagecraft, technical skills and repertoire. It promotes independence to a much larger extent, allowing students to design and craft a showcase performance, demonstrating a sophisticated mastery of contemporary music genres, verbal and non-verbal skills, innovative use of technology in the public arena. The unit also introduces conceptual and practical steps to enhance commercial outcomes of live performance by including further promotion, merchandising and performance royalties to the performance, and further promotes critical analysis of self and peer performance.
