In this course, guitar students perform works from their current repertoire for an audience of peers with the goal of honing performance skills. Each student is required to perform weekly. It is essential that participants are active auditors, and are prepared to comment on the performances. To this end, each student is required to keep a written blog on the course blackboard of all the repertoire covered in the class and each performance heard. Issues such as performing anxiety, control, concentration, fluency, developmental performance, programming, stage manner, and presentation will be discussed in class and in the blogs, and explored in the performing practicum. Graduate students are required to present two 40-minute lecture recitals, one per term, and submit a written document exploring the research on the repertoire presented in both instances.
