In Solo Performance students develop skills in aural perception and musical sensitivity, and preparing and presenting public performances.
Solo Performance allows students to use and develop existing performance skills on a single instrument or voice, or a group of instruments/voice. Students engage with a range of performance opportunities and reflective practices throughout the year.. Performances are conducted through a series of lunchtime concerts, evening performances and whole school events.
Students attend timetabled classes, which is customarily used for personal practice or rehearsal. In addition to this, students participate in a 2 hour performance class each Thursday 3pm - 5pm.
Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types:
School Based Assessment | Weighting |

This is a public performance or set of public performances of contrasting works between 6 - 8 minutes in duration. The Performance Portfolio is to include a 500 word or 3 minute evaluation.
