MUSICOL 3100 - Music Research Project

Music Research and Professional Practice is a capstone course for B.Mus/Musicology and B.Mus/Music Education-Pedagogy students. The course develops knowledge and skills relating to researching music, its scholarly presentation and their application in professional life. Case studies with different theoretical and practical perspectives help the student to develop a further understanding of methodologies available to the researcher as well as broadening knowledge of music and its application to music-making and professional practice more generally. The seminar mode of learning enables students to explore key issues through problem-solving exercises and discussion. Students then have the opportunity to complete an agreed research project which may include spending a short time working with a private sector or industry partner depending upon availability.
