MUS. 308
Creative Development
This course is designed to prepare the developing instrumentalist or vocalist with the requisite skills for a career as a professional live musician and bandleader. Performance, musicianship and leadership skills are taught and assessed through the presentations of mini-recitals and evaluations culminating with an end-of-year fifty minute recital comprised of both original arrangements of existing repertoire and original material. This course works in tandem with the Major Instrument Private Lesson 5 and 6 courses (Maj312-313) in helping students identify their musical strengths and artistic direction. Students will also adjudicate colleagues mini-recitals and promote open and honest criticism of one another’s work with a view towards self improvement.
