Principal Study: Building on the student’s achievement in Stage 1, this module continues the development of the student’s technique, musical personality and artistic expression. Students are exposed to more demanding repertoire (including contemporary music), wider stylistic awareness and the development of ensemble playing.
Keyboard Performance Class: This weekly class provides an important transition from the one-to-one lesson to the eventual public performance (including masterclasses where appropriate). Students perform works in various stages of preparation in a collegiate ambiance and benefit from the development of peer- and self-criticism.

Principal Study is taught on a one-to-one basis with continuous guidance and feedback given by the lecturer. The Keyboard Performance Class comprises a weekly discursive workshop for keyboard students from all four years.
The module is strongly student-centred. Individual programmes of study are designed to meet the specific needs of the learner. Daily self-directed practice forms an integral part of the process in order to achieve the learning outcomes.
