The ability to rehearse the assigned repertoire for the needs of recording, to communicate with performers, the ability to lead recording sessions and to participate in post-production.

Course Content Summary:

Participation through listening during the instruction of the Sound Design programme. Students will gain an awareness of the demands placed on the music and sound engineering team throughout the recording process. Composition students will be given preference for placement on recording teams when recording Department of Composition concerts in collaboration with students of the Department of Sound Design. Active participation is expected in the form of a listening session with the possibility of discussion leading to the realisation of one's own project.
