    Overview

    Tuition to develop ‘solo’ or ‘ensemble’ performance skills.

    Approved World Music Options: Taonga Pūoro (traditional Māori instruments), Taiko (Japanese drumming), Koto (Japanese zither) or Scottish piping or drumming.

    Vocal Ensemble: Admission is by audition. Students enrolled will be organised into a small vocal ensemble through which they will acquire the skills associated with performing in and directing a small vocal ensemble. This option is ideal for students with prior experience performing in a choral or solo setting. Enrolment will be capped at 12 people. All students enrolled must audition before mid-October of the previous year.

    After completing enrolment, Performance Students should email the Office to advise which musical instrument/s they have chosen to study in 2023. Please contact spa@otago.ac.nz for information regarding auditions.
