Students will be assessed on preparation, participation, performance and presentation in the ensemble of which they are members. No grades will be awarded other than “Course Requirements Satisfied” or otherwise.

Average contact time 2 hours per week. There will be fixed rehearsal times for some ensembles; others will rehearse intensively prior to performance. Students are cautioned to check the detailed timetables for the ensembles they will be participating in prior to confirming their enrolment.
