Closely linked to Styles 2, this module is designed to develop the student’s ability by honing advanced technique and therefore facilitating enhancement of the student’s musical vocabulary. As advanced technique develops, students will be able to execute more ideas within their chosen discipline and with greater dynamic control and accuracy. The study path encompasses various different concepts, techniques and applications, in preparation for the many different playing situations that may be encountered. A disciplined approach to regular practice is the key to success here, so the structuring of a focused and workable practice routine will be essential. The module is also designed to help you develop your ability to interpret industry standard notation in a wide range of musical settings.
