This module will be delivered in workshop/masterclass style sessions, which balance theoretical and practical concepts, addressing aspects associated with the craft of expressive music performance, including the development of expressive facility, the art of responsiveness, using artistic performance devices and developing rapport with an audience.
Working in a complementary way to the performance development in your first year, this module allows you to focus on your expressive palette by deconstructing the concept of expressive performance into a variety of component parts.
You will be guided to consider acoustic and non-acoustic variables such as phrasing, articulation, dynamic range, tonal quality, and use of pace and gesture, in order to most effectively utilise your growing technical and musical facility.
