Contemporary Music Performance
Contemporary Music Performance balances the development of technical skills with the creative processes vital to the contemporary artist, whilst maintaining an awareness of the demands of an ever-challenging profession. The program embraces improvisation in a diversity of music genres including jazz, world music, popular music, folk music, experimental, electronica, crossover music, a cappella and multi-media. It also encourages the development of the personal voice through performance practice and original compositions; these activities play an integral role in maintaining the program’s vital commitment to performance in the community at large. Contemporary Music Performance alumni are a core part of contemporary Australian music making, contributing to our local and international cultural export as contemporary improvisers, performers, composers, arrangers and producers.
