Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide supervised hands-on experience in vocal technique, ensemble singing, and rehearsal leadership. Learners apply theoretical knowledge through daily vocal exercises, sectional rehearsals, and a final performance.

Practical Activities

• Daily Vocal Warm-ups and Technique — Each day, learners participate in guided vocal warm-ups and technique exercises focusing on breath support, resonance, and agility. (6h)
• Sectional Rehearsals and Blend Practice — Learners work in voice-part groups to rehearse assigned repertoire, focusing on blend, balance, and intonation under instructor supervision. (6h)
• Full Choir Rehearsals — Full choir rehearsals integrate all voice parts, emphasizing ensemble skills, interpretation, and rehearsal techniques. (6h)
• Final Performance Preparation and Concert — Learners prepare for and deliver a final public performance, including stage setup, sound check, and concert execution. (6h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
