Opportunities for early career musicians often arise from independent, artist driven initiatives. The ability to situate and negotiate creative practice within this increasingly independent music industry can be key to career sustainability and ongoing artistic development. It is therefore essential for students to be able to identify and cultivate opportunities for knowledge building, skills development, and promotion of their work. The two music project courses are a two-part capstone sequence, designed to allow third year students to demonstrate their cumulative command of musical and theoretical processes learned in previous courses with an original body of work that may be produced individually or collaboratively with peers. Students are encouraged to build on their existing knowledge and skill base to grow as emerging independent and reflective musicians and show their readiness for professional activity.

This course seeks to explore at an advanced level the intersection between theory and practice in music and the student's readiness for independent creative work just prior to entering the profession or for future more advanced tertiary study. The two music project courses build on the knowledge and skill base accumulated in the first two years of study. This course forms an intermediate phase between acquiring proficiency in music performance, theory and context and being ready to launch oneself as an independent musician.

Each student determines a practical and creative project, plans its execution and delivers Individually and/or in collaboration with peers, and under the supervision of teaching staff, an artistic or research-based outcome. The project will demonstrate their cumulative capability and musical expertise. This project-based learning promotes the technical, analytical and critical skill development essential to a professional creative practice in music. The assessment will focus on the student's capacity to formulate a `doable' creative project, the stages of development of the project which could be reproducible in future creative tasks and the quality of the completed outcome based on the notion of readiness for professional work as a musician.
