Unit Synopsis
Through foundation studies in ensemble music performance, you will be able to synthesize your specialised performance skills within the context of publicly presented music ensemble performances. These music ensemble activities give you the opportunity to work in various performance, technical and creative roles as appropriate so that you have the opportunity to develop foundation skills in problem-solving, creative, self-regulated and critical thinking, within a team-based environment. NOTE: On occasion, as part of your studies, you may be required to participate in performance activities in various settings and locations (off campus) that may contribute to your assessment in this unit.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Source: Staff reflection.
Enhance opportunities for group learning to address the minimal face-to-face interactions and predominantly online delivery.
Continue to develop and implement strategies that facilitate collaborative learning, ensuring that students have ample opportunities to engage and connect with their peers, regardless of the delivery mode.
Strategies to enhance group learning have been implemented, including increased use of forums and peer feedback, additional Tech Hangout times, and more frequent use of breakout groups. These actions have supported collaboration and peer connection despite the predominantly online delivery, and will continue to be refined through ongoing reflection.
