Principal Study: Building on existing levels of achievement, students of Irish Traditional Music Studies further their studies on their chosen Instrument. The student will develop technical skills and musical awareness for instrumental performance, while establishing the foundation for productive practice and independent learning. The student will develop a repertoire, and appropriate technical skills, as advised by the Principal Study lecturer.
Performance Seminar and Specialist Recitals in ITM
This Performance Seminar, which runs across the four years, provides an interactive forum where students will present in-class recitals and/or presentations of the repertoire they are working on. This class is designed to foster self-evaluation and peer-criticism. This weekly seminar aims to provide guided performance experience and to foster an engagement with their peers in a non-public arena and to also prepare students for performances in our Specialist Recitals series in Irish Traditional Music.
