Coming in 2008: new delivery modes for Music Theatre and Orchestral Studies streams in the existing Bachelor of Music.
The Music Theatre stream will be delivered in an exciting new way, making it a first in Australia.
January-February: A six-week, 5 days per week set of units that culminates in a fully staged production in late February 2008. This intensive block is equal to 50% of one year's study.
July: Another intensive 3 week block that will culminate in a fully staged production. This intensive block is equal to 25% of one year's study.
Semesters 1 & 2: will each contain a 12.5% unit that can be taken during evenings.
This new mode will allow students to undertake another course at university during the usual university semesters (1 & 2), undertake full-time employment or further develop skills by doing shows outside of the block delivery of the Music Theatre stream.
Orchestral Studies is divided into 4 areas of concentration each semester: 1 to 1 lessons; chamber music; large ensemble music (string orchestra, wind ensemble, brass ensemble, percussion ensemble) and symphony orchestra. In the solo instrumental area students will also be taught aural skills and have technical and excerpt classes. Throughout the Bachelor of Music there will also be a number of mock auditions to prepare you for professional auditions.
There are essential links between this course of study and the acclaimed Australian International Summer Orchestra Institute and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Students who pass a TSO casual audition are eligible to undertake casual work with the TSO as well as being eligible for a $5000 TSO Scholarship.
This is an intensive course of study focused on playing. Traditional academic music subjects are also available as electives. In 2009, when the Bachelor of Music is amended, an Orchestral Studies stream will be identified as a new major within the degree.
If you want to excel as an orchestral musician, this course is for you!
