  • Demonstrate stylistic distinctions in advanced-solo and advanced-ensemble oboe repertoire to accurately interpret music in performance.
  • Demonstrate an advanced-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.

Aspirational Goals

  • Perform pieces from at least two different historical eras
  • Sight Reading Second Year Level Material

Outcome Assessment Strategies

Methods used to evaluate student progress and the criteria for assigning a course grade should be made clear by the instructor at the beginning of the course.  The individual instructor will determine the method of assessment.  Assessment methods may include:
