This course deepens students’ understanding of music practice, specifically how it is expressed in live contexts. It focuses on developing musicianship and artistry across various live music performance environments ranging from the professional stage to community-oriented contexts. Students critically engage with the expressive aspects of music practice, gaining experience across a range of genres. They explore a series of topics and experiences emphasising acoustic and amplified live music, acquiring practical knowledge of performing for live audiences, including insights into hearing safety and principles of amplified sound from a performer’s viewpoint. Additionally, students develop effective communication strategies for diverse live music contexts, which support professional readiness and adaptability.
