Students enrolled in a variety of Music Practical Studies units (single instrument performance or composition) develop executive skills which are further demonstrated and enhanced by participation in a Large Music Ensemble. Satisfactory participation in these ensembles is a prerequisite for submitting for examination in the core Principal Studies or Practical Studies units.
