  • Prepare and rehearse beginning/intermediate-solo and beginning/intermediate-ensemble oboe repertoire for performance using a beginning/intermediate-level understanding of music literacy.
  • Demonstrate stylistic distinctions in beginning/intermediate-solo and beginning/intermediate-ensemble oboe repertoire to accurately interpret music in performance.
  • Demonstrate a beginning/intermediate-level understanding of the oboe to continue to improve as a performer.

  • Meet learning outcomes specific to this project as mutually agreed upon by the student and instructor in advance through a written learning contract, and as appropriate to the credit awarded for this course.
