Studies in Musical Performance

Through courses in the Studies in Musical Performance series (MUS 60-65), advanced Individual Instruction Program students can pursue deeper engagement with their instrument and repertoire with double-length lessons and the presentation of an hour-length solo recital.

Course Description

Studies in Musical Performance courses (MUS 60-65) consist of the intensive private study of a small number of selected works through their performance. Beyond technical mastery of the instrument, emphasis is placed upon the relation between performance problems (dynamics, phrasing, rubato) and multi-level analysis (harmonic, structural, stylistic). In addition to private instruction for one ninety-minute period each week, the student will be required to present a one-hour recital and to provide either written or oral program notes.
