This course of study embraces an innovative more flexible curriculum approach that aims to develop students’ independent and creative thinking about music through a variety of approaches to music: practical, theoretical, analytical, compositional, historical and sociological. Students gain broad knowledge of the musician’s craft and an ability to apply this as part of the creative process through an understanding of music and the musical profession as being an integral part of contemporary world culture. Study emphasizes the need to perform, research, analyse, discuss and critically reflect upon music in a wide range of musical, cultural, and technological contexts. |
