Description

Subject Area: Music

The course enables you to extend your mastery of discipline-specific knowledge and practice through critical studies in music. You will study methods of critical practice to help you find ways to improve the ethical and aesthetical outcomes in your chosen area of practice whether it is musicology, pedagogy, performance or composition. The course provides a forum for you to investigate aspects of your area of musical study in the light of current debates within the discipline. Investigations are informed by evidence based on live music making, videos, audio recordings, scores and published research. You will also gain in-depth familiarity with a variety of approaches to critical practice in music through the individual or collaborative exploration of a chosen project concept that will culminate in a summative presentation/performance.
