This course involves fundamental music studies in a second area of specialisation for students who are expected to be concurrently enrolled in Principal Study. They can study an additional instrument or composition, creative production or music research (provided that it is a different area of study from their principal study and in the case of creative production, they are not enrolled in creative production as an elective). Entrance in to the double major is subject to approval by the HOS. Repertoires from diverse styles can be studied such as classical, contemporary, popular, jazz and world music. The course offers students the opportunity for intensive development of their individual skills, in styles and modes of presentation of their choice, which may involve technology, with a focus on deepening of stylistic focus and awareness of professional expectations.

Objectives
At the completion of this course students will demonstrate, within their chosen area of study:

- Advanced application of fundamentals of technique applicable to the chosen practice, genre and style where appropriate e.g: production standards, control of compositional language, physiological issues and creative use of media.

- Understanding of their practice/work routine and evidence of its implementation at an high level of efficiency.

- Advanced level of confidence and self-assuredness in presenting work, including the ability to listen and be responsive, plus preparation, readiness, managing anxiety and engaging with music-makers, audiences and other collaborators.
- Advanced ability to think critically and understand the research process in their work.
