Description	This module comprises five elements; tuition and other activity begins in Semester 1 (and as such, the module must be taken across the two semesters and cannot be taken in Semester 2 only). The module’s five elements are: a) One-to-one instrumental/vocal tuition. This tuition (18 hours taken across the two semesters) is provided either by approved teachers at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, or by tutors employed directly by the Department of Music, or, for Early Music, through the Department's Centre for Early Music Performance and Research (CEMPR), and is normally divided equally between two studies, either two instruments or one instrument and voice. The aim is to make as much technical and musical progress as possible and to provide a basis for further specialisation in solo performance in the 2nd and Final Years. Teachers supply reports during the second semester; b) Attendance at Barber Evening Concerts c) Attendance at Seminars d) Attendance at Platform sessions e) Independent study of learning resources.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Develop and demonstrate in one-to-one instrumental and/or vocal lessons technical skills as a performer; Develop and demonstrate in one-to-one instrumental and/or vocal lessons interpretative skills as a performer; Develop and demonstrate knowledge of overall performance skills.
