Collaboration between students
As this unit is an individual study of an instrument or voice, and not an ensemble unit, the collaboration between students is not a necessity. However, for the benefit of all students, recommendations will follow to enable online collaboration for students, should they wish to pursue this further.
Masterclasses were introduced for the first time in 2024, enabling a workshop-style approach to performance online, including feedback from staff and peers.
