Music Performance, Minor
- Western Sydney University Minor Code: 0023
Previous Code: SM1017.1
Available to students in other Western Sydney University programs? No
The four subjects in the Music Performance minor offer students opportunities to expand their practice in several ways. Through group rehearsal and performance, and engaging as composer-performer, two subjects explore musical collaboration as performer-performer, and as performer-composer. In self-devised projects in which the student is the featured performer, two subjects encourage engagement with theatrical, multimedia and/or electroacoustic elements and an investigation of one’s identity as a performer. Aspects of onstage skills, performance persona and audience communication are addressed. Subjects require writing about performance through concert reviewing, project proposals, reflective and contextual essays. Students receive feedback in all subjects, during the rehearsal process.
