A fundamental element of a contemporary musician鈥檚 ongoing experience is understanding their own creative and research practices within the wider musical and cultural contexts. Creative musicians initiate and maintain an engagement with musical ideas and understandings, and investigate these in both formal and informal ways. This course aims to prepare students for a future as an independent artist/researcher, consolidating their acquired musical knowledge and extending musicological research techniques and methods.

This course promotes self-directed learning, with the opportunity to demonstrate discipline knowledge at an advanced level.

This course introduces students to methodologies for musical research within contemporary music styles - such as ethnography and practice-led research - to explore artefacts, languages and performance practice in contemporary music.

Students will engage with discipline knowledge in workshop format and independent practice work in progress stages with reporting and consultation.

Students develop and deliver a self-designed research project to interrogate the musical fabric of a chosen genre or sub-genre of popular music. Outcomes include a portfolio that may include a research paper, a folio of creative work or a lecture recital.
