Master of Music • Course Code: WMU53 • Credit Points: 96 • Number of Units: 8 • Duration: 2 years full-time; up to 6 years part-time • Delivery Mode: Mixed – Arts Management focus online; all others on campus

The Master of Music was developed to enable professional musicians to broaden and enhance their skills. Completion of the course enables graduates to:

1. demonstrate a very high standard of musical performance with advanced technical and expressive abilities on their chosen instrument (performance focus); or demonstrate a very high standard in the creative application of traditional and contemporary compositional techniques (composition focus); or demonstrate the high-level skills and understanding to apply current thinking in arts management practice (arts management focus).

2. demonstrate a thorough grasp of all essential aspects within their specialisation, together with a clear appreciation of the application of wider musical practices in society.

3. articulate an understanding of a biblically Christian worldview and the implications of this worldview for a Christian philosophy and practice of music.

4. develop and refine a set of skills in research, critique, review, reflection, analysis and communication undertaken through a combination of course work and research at an appropriate level.

5. implement and adapt advanced performance, compositional or arts management skills in a professional music environment.

6. demonstrate an understanding of the role of the performer, composer or arts manager in society, and adapt specialist skills to specific situations.

The Master of Music is offered within a diverse and stimulating learning environment that encourages exploration of the interface between faith and professional practice. This attracts students with whom this philosophy resonates. Some graduates take up positions of musical leadership and/or management in organisations associated with the church and its community activities. The course offers three focuses: Performance, Contemporary Composition and Arts Management, each of which requires a minimum of two years coursework. In the Performance focus, students work on perfecting the standard repertoire by honing their technical and artistic skills and undertaking comprehensive analysis of all aspects of their repertoire. The process of self-evaluation of both practice and performance methodology is also pivotal here. Graduates will be qualified to seek employment as soloists and/or members of the foremost large and chamber ensembles. They would also be eminently qualified to take a teaching position in a tertiary institution, where they would combine performance with studio teaching.

6

In the Contemporary Composition focus, students select four of the six options for their major study. These options allow students to concentrate on the traditional ‘classical’ aspects of composition or more commercial areas such as animation, advertising, radio, television and film scores, or to combine the two areas in equal measure. Graduates will be qualified to seek employment as commercial composers or to work in more traditional spheres, such as tertiary institutions, and arts, community, youth and church organisations. In the Arts Management focus, students gain the diverse skills and knowledge essential to running an arts organisation of any size, with units on leadership and management, public relations and sponsorship, business skills, and marketing. Graduates will be qualified to seek employment in youth orchestra societies, government and local council arts administration, major musical organisations in urban, regional and rural areas, and church organisations. Students in all focuses will develop superior skills in research and analysis that will make them desirable candidates for employment in their chosen field. Each student studies research and analysis methodology and completes a major project involving original research into an aspect of particular interest within their chosen focus. The course comprises 8 units of 12 credit points each taken over two years (four semesters), for a total of 96 credit points:

- 4 required units from one focus - 2 required research units - 2 elective units.

1. EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED

As well as completing application forms, applicants for admission to the Master of Music must fulfil both educational and artistic requirements.

A. Successful completion of an accredited undergraduate degree in music or discipline appropriate to chosen focus area

B. Artistic requirements vary, depending on the focus area chosen.

a. Performance Focus: Candidates applying to undertake the Performance focus, or any part thereof, must demonstrate advanced technique in their chosen instrument (including voice) by means of an audition. This audition will be benchmarked against a cross-section of audition standards from at least three other equivalent level tertiary institutions. Applicants should be prepared to:

• present a thirty-minute program that includes three contrasting pieces of different periods and/or styles, and

• discuss their program with the admissions panel, and • present a portfolio of previous performance experience which may

include CD and DVD recordings.

b. Contemporary Composition Focus: Candidates applying to undertake this focus, or any part thereof, should be prepared to:

• present a portfolio of original compositions for diverse instrumentation demonstrating a grasp of various compositional techniques (with scores and CD or DVD, plus written notes), and

• discuss their portfolio with the admissions panel.

c. Arts Management Focus: Candidates applying to undertake the Arts Management focus are not required to fulfil artistic requirements to the same degree as students applying for the other focus areas. They must participate in an interview with the admissions panel to discuss their experience and interests.

Applicants residing overseas or interstate may satisfy these requirements through submitting an unedited recording, program notes, and portfolio as appropriate. Such submission will be followed up with a telephone interview

8

C. Applicants whose qualifying degree was completed in a language other than English, will normally be required to provide evidence of English language proficiency equivalent to an overall score of 6.5 in the IELTS Academic test. Alternative course and test results assessed as satisfying the language requirement for admission are:

• TOEFL (Paper-based) 577 • TOEFL (Computer-based) 233 • TOEFL (Internet-based) 92 overall score • ACL Sydney English Centre 65% in the Diploma of EAP.

2. SPECIAL / ALTERNATIVE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

In certain circumstances of educational disadvantage, an applicant who has not completed an undergraduate degree, but demonstrates professional musicality in performance or composition, or evidences substantial professional experience in arts management, may be admitted with provisional status. The terms of the provision are individually determined by the admissions panel for each such applicant, but they usually require the successful completion of either one semester or one year of the degree program before the student is admitted to full candidature.

Credit Students accepted into the Master of Music may apply for credit on the basis of completed accredited postgraduate studies that have reasonable equivalence with the masters units. The maximum level of credit that may be granted into the Master of Music is 36 credit points or three units. Please see the Student Handbook for details of how to apply for credit.

Assessment The Master of Music offers three different focuses: Performance, Contemporary Composition and Arts Management. Owing to the diverse natures of these focuses, their assessment methods differ widely. In all units, students must complete and submit all assessment tasks to achieve a passing grade In the Performance focus, the major component of assessment is practical. At the conclusion of each semester students present a recital, and throughout the course tutors provide assessment of students’ consistency, attitude and progress. Students also undertake an ongoing process of self-evaluation through the keeping of a daily journal, in which they note their practice schedule and methodology, submitting the journal is for assessment at semester-end. Contribution to the weekly performance seminar is assessed, and the remaining assessment is musicological.

In the Contemporary Composition focus, assessment is also largely practical. In Composition I-III students present a lecture/concert at the conclusion of each semester, showcasing the works they have composed during that semester. Tutors provide assessment of students’ consistency, attitude and progress, and students undertake an ongoing process of self-evaluation through the keeping of a daily journal, in which they note their composition schedule and methodology. Contribution to the weekly composition seminar is assessed, as is a research paper on an agreed topic.

9

In the Arts Management focus, which is delivered online, assessment is through research papers and e-presentations, and focuses on practical aspects of the particular unit. For example, in Public Relations and Sponsorship in the Arts students present a strategic plan for their proposed arts business, while in Marketing for People in the Arts students develop a marketing plan that targets the arts market of their choice. The combination of assessments in each unit prepares students both practically and theoretically for employment in the arts management sector.

The research component within all focuses of the Master of Music culminates in the writing of a short thesis in the final semester. This is intended to allow students to examine in depth a particular area of interest within their chosen focus, and to show that they have developed their research skills during the course. In preparation for this, students undertake a number of research tasks in Research and Analysis and Research Project. Exercises in annotating bibliographies, summarising scholarly writing, together with analysis and thesis-progress presentations are assessed. In Research and Analysis students’ contribution to seminar discussions is assessed, and they write a research paper on a topic related to the unit and approved by the unit coordinator.

Facilities • Studies in the Contemporary Composition focus requiring studio facilities are

completed in the Balmain studios of Art Phillips Music Design - a facility that has the ability to synchronise to video and deliver final master sound recordings to vision in timecoded Dat format, CD or tape.

• All other face-to-face studies are completed on the Drummoyne campus.

• Online units are offered through the Institute’s Learning Management System, Moodle. Students undertaking the Arts Management focus must have access to the Internet and computer facilities.

4. reflect on music practice within the framework of their faith and personal values, and recognise the importance of engaging in self-directed lifelong learning.

12

Bachelor /Associate Degree of Music Specialist music studies are offered in three broad strands: Performance, Musicianship and Musicology, and Support and Technical Studies. The fourth strand, Personal and Professional Development, incorporates a series of integrative studies common to all the Institute’s creative arts degrees. These inter-disciplinary units provide students with opportunity to enlarge the context within which their specialist knowledge and skills develop. Integration is central to the Institute’s educational mission, which seeks to blend professional and artistic development with personal and spiritual development. The Faith and Contemporary Artist units expose students to the dialogue between the arts and theology, philosophy, sociology, cultural and historical studies, and introduce them to the Biblical text as a foundation for living. From this exposure new, enriched perspectives can emerge. Elective units available in the School of Music are listed below, and up to two elective units may be taken from related studies in other Institute degrees. Students are encouraged to use their electives to enhance their career preparation. For example, the worship arts units from the Support and Technical Studies elective stand would assist those wanting to go into Music Ministry, while the suite of second instrument study units in the Performance elective strand would provide prospective teachers with grounding in a second instrument.

- Small Ensemble Studies o Instrumental, Vocal, Ethnic, Rock, Jazz, Contemporary Christian

- Second Instrument Studies o Sequential units of study available in a variety of instruments or voice

- Accompaniment o Two sequential units offered

- Worship Arts o Music Leading in Worship, Church Music Administration

- Other Music Electives o Advanced Aural o Choir Performance and Cultural Experience o Musical Theatre Production o Special Instrument Study

Admission

1. EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED

As well as completing application forms, applicants for admission to the Bachelor of Music or its nested Associate Degree of Music must fulfil both educational and artistic requirements.

A. Applicants are required to provide evidence of:

• satisfactory completion of the NSW Higher School Certificate or equivalent; or

• completion of other tertiary studies, either another undergraduate course or at least one year full-time in such a course.

B. Applicants are required to complete an audition and interview, and provide evidence of having attained a level of musical knowledge that will enable them to successfully undertake the first year of the course. Auditions and interviews are conducted by at least two (2) faculty members.

• Audition – applicants should be prepared to present three pieces demonstrating their skill on their major instrument (including voice). These pieces should be of contrasting style, period and composer, and may include an improvisation or original composition. As a guide, repertoire presented should be at an AMEB Grade 6 standard for instrumentalists and Grade 4 for singers, or HSC Music 2 level. These standards are given to guide the choice of audition repertoire, and AMEB examinations or HSC Music 2 are not pre-requisites for entry. The audition program should not exceed 20 minutes. The audition panel may request a demonstration of technical work.

• Interview – conducted concurrently with the audition. Applicants discuss with the admission panel their previous musical experience, personal motivation and aspirations. The panel will also inform the student of Institute and course expectations.

• Musical Knowledge – it is assumed that commencing students will possess musical knowledge equivalent to the outcomes of HSC Music 2 or AMEB Grade 5 Musicianship. Where academic records, other educational experience or the interview panel are unable to verify a satisfactory level of musical knowledge, applicants will be offered the opportunity to complete a musicianship test set at AMEB Grade 5 standard. Those who are not able to demonstrate the required level of musical knowledge by one of the above means may be offered a place in the course, conditional on the satisfactory completion of the bridging unit Harmonic Practices before commencement.

Applicants residing overseas or interstate may satisfy these requirements through submitting an unedited recording, program notes, and a portfolio of previous performance experience. Such submission will be followed up with a telephone interview.

C. Applicants whose qualifying studies were completed in a language other than English, will normally be required to provide evidence of English language proficiency equivalent to an overall score of 6.0 in the IELTS Academic test.

15

Alternative course and test results assessed as satisfying the language requriement for admission are:

• TOEFL (Paper-based) 550 • TOEFL (Computer-based) 213 • TOEFL (Internet-based) 79 overall score • ACL Sydney English Centre 55% in the Diploma of EAP.

During orientation students will undertake a series of listening and written exercises designed to determine their current level and allow them to be placed in musicianship classes appropriate to that level. 2. SPECIAL / ALTERNATIVE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

An applicant of 21 years or over who has satisfied the artistic entry requirements may be admitted with provisional status if the admissions committee determines that such applicant has attained a standard of education and experience adequate for entry to the course and has the aptitude required for undertaking the course. Selection will be based on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) together with a written application, audition or portfolio of previous performance experience, and an interview. The Admissions Committee will normally be looking for demonstrated capacity through paid or voluntary employment in a field relevant to the course, evidence of motivation to succeed in the course, and an awareness of the demands of tertiary study. Where academic records, other educational experience or the interview panel are unable to verify a satisfactory level of musical knowledge, applicants will be offered the opportunity to complete a musicianship test set at AMEB Grade 5 standard. Those who are not able to demonstrate the required level of musical knowledge by one of the above means will need to complete the bridging unit Harmonic Practices, offered prior to course commencement. Provisional status for adult entrants will normally be converted to full candidature on successful completion of the first semester’s course load.

Mature Age

In certain circumstances of educational disadvantage, an applicant who has not satisfied the academic prerequisites for admission but demonstrates a high level of musical ability may be admitted with provisional status. The terms of the provision are individually determined by the Admissions Committee for each such applicant, but they usually require the successful completion of either one semester or one year of the degree program before the student is admitted to full candidature.

Special Admission

Credit Students accepted into the Bachelor or Associate Degree of Music may apply for credit transfer on the basis of equivalent studies completed prior to their admission. Studies undertaken at registered tertiary institutions may be considered for transfer credit where they have reasonable correspondence to coursework units in the Institute’s courses.

16

Students may also apply for RPL credit on the basis of skills and knowledge achieved outside the formal education and training system. The following standards are consulted in the assessment of any prior learning, as appropriate:

a. The AQF National Principles and Operational Guidelines for Recognition of Prior Learning.

b. The AQF National Guidelines on Cross-Sectoral Qualification Linkages.

c. The Universities Australia Policy Guidelines on Cross-Sector Qualification Linkages.

Credit and RPL credit for previous study may be awarded up to a maximum of one third of the course requirements, or 48 credit points in the Bachelor of Music and 32 credit points in the Associate Degree of Music.

Applicants who are currently enrolled in an equivalent bachelor degree course with a peer provider and wish to finish their studies for the degree qualification at Wesley Institute may be considered for credit of up to two thirds of the Bachelor of Music requirements, or the equivalent of the first two years (96 credit points). Similarly, those currently enrolled in an equivalent associate degree in music wishing to transfer to Wesley Institute to finish their studies for the associate degree qualification may be considered for credit of up to two thirds of the course requirements (64 credit points).

Assessment The Bachelor of Music and Associate Degree of Music are performance-based courses, and therefore the major component of assessment in the performance units is practical. In semesters 1, 3 and 5, students sit technical examinations, in semesters 2, 4 and 6 they give recitals. In all semesters tutors provide assessment of students’ consistency, attitude and progress. Students attend professional concerts and rehearsals, and submit reviews and analyses of their impressions. Their performance in and contribution to a weekly performance forum is also assessed. The assessment for ensemble units and Functional Keyboard is also largely practical, combining technical, performance and repertoire elements.

A thorough grounding in all aspects of musicianship and musicology is provided in the first two years of the Bachelor of Music (the duration of the Associate Degree of Music). The musicianship units, Aural Perception and Harmony and Analysis, are assessed by a combination of weekly assignments and examinations. In Music History and Ethnomusicology, assessment tasks are designed to expand general musical knowledge, encourage critical reflection and develop basic research skills. The Musical Direction units see students assessed on both their knowledge and understanding of scores and their ability to communicate that knowledge and understanding to their ensembles.

The Support and Technical Studies units are assessed by a combination of regular hands-on tasks and written assignments. An understanding of various techniques is tested in theory and practice.

In all units, students must complete and submit all assessment tasks to achieve a passing grade. In some units the passing of critical assessment tasks is an additional qualifier to a passing grade.

17

Further Study Graduates of the Bachelor of Music may progress to the Master of Music (subject to audition and portfolio entry requirements). Those wishing to pursue a career in teaching can add the fourth-year teaching qualification through completion of the Wesley Institute Graduate Diploma of Education with a secondary music teaching method.

Tuition Assurance To protect students in the event that Wesley Institute ceases to provide a course of study, the Institute has tuition assurance through its membership of the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET) Tuition Assurance Schemes for Australian and international students.
