Attendance is required at scheduled activities including lectures, tutorials and Applied Musicianship Workshop to receive credit for components of the course.

Please note in particular that, owing to its practical nature, your contribution through active participation in Applied Musicianship is regarded as compulsory coursework. If you miss more than two sessions without independent evidence such as a medical note you will not be eligible to participate in any planned performance and you will not be eligible to take the Applied Musicianship test (10%). It is your personal responsibility to sign the participation registers at every class. These will be available during the class and for a short while afterwards.

Lectures will be available as recordings.

Other learning activities including tutorials will not be recorded.

Owing to its practical nature the Applied Musicianship workshop is not recorded and in-person attendance is required.

The activities for the course are scheduled as a standard weekly timetable, other than any specially arranged rehearsals or performances, which will be notified at the beginning of semester. 

Through lectures and tutorials in theory/analysis and musicianship, as well as participation in the choral performance project, students will work on a range of activities that will enable them progressively to develop their knowledge and skills.  
Lectures and tutorials in Harmony and Analysis:
•    examine the primary musical parameters of rhythm, pitch and form, and introduce the secondary parameters such as texture;
•    provide exercises and training in the handling of these materials in notated form, to enable students to recognize, identify and analyse these features and to understand their significance in a given musical context.
Lectures in Materials of Music:
•    further explore these musical materials, utilizing active listening to perceive the musical characteristics of a variety of musical examples;
• provide training in Materials of Music skills including aural perception, musicianship, more advanced theoretical concepts and terminology
Applied Musicianship (choral performance project):
•    rehearse selected repertoire, leading to a concert performance or a workshop performance;
•    provide exercises in contextual listening including work on inner hearing (intervallic/melodic relationships) internal pulse and subdivision, holding a part;
•    inform students of the techniques and discipline of choral ensemble singing as a tool to develop musicianship skills and professional skills in the workplace (this will help foster an immediate practical context for study undertaken in the areas of both musicianship and music theory);
•    develop students’ understanding of the nature of the vocal instrument, linguistic models (including IPA) and singers’ score markings.

Taught courses use a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas to provide students with learning materials including reading lists and lecture recordings (where available). Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.

Attendance in class as well as engagement with course activities and readings is vital to academic success. Owing to the nature of music teaching and learning, consistent attendance is essential at all lectures, tutorials and studio lessons. Students must make every effort to attend class and complete all the necessary in-class requirements. All planned absences (such as overseas competitions, family events, masterclasses or work-related commitments) must be pre-approved by the Head of School. If approval is given, all Course Coordinators, Tutors and other teachers must be informed of your absence in advance. Unplanned absences relating to illness, bereavement, or other emergencies can only be excused with appropriate evidence from the University doctor, counsellor or other official source. It is students’ personal responsibility to make up all work missed, as individual catch-up classes will not be available.

Please note ‐ owing to its practical nature, your contribution through active participation in Applied Musicianship Workshop is regarded as compulsory coursework. Failure to complete this compulsory coursework component will result in a DNC (did not complete) Fail Grade for the course.

The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed for potential plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct, using computerised detection mechanisms.

Similarly, research students must meet the University’s expectations of good research practice. This requires:

• Honesty - in all aspects of research work

• Transparency – of research process and presentation of results
• Clarity - communication to be understandable, explainable and accessible

In addition, class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.

We are reducing the number of coursework assignments.

Class representatives are students tasked with representing student issues to departments, faculties, and the wider university. If you have a complaint about this course, please contact your class rep who will know how to raise it in the right channels.
