Project Work

Research-based poster, drawing on one or more of the approaches to research outlined during term one, and applying these methodologies to a musical issue or repertoire of the student&#39;s choice. Posters will be displayed and informally discussed during a dedicated class session.

<p>This module will develop your knowledge and understanding of methodologies for musical research, including empirical and ethnographic approaches. Seminars will provide you with opportunities to debate and apply these methods to a range of contemporary issues in music and musical culture, providing the basis for investigating your own topic of study in an extended research project. You will be encouraged to explore new areas of study, additional methodologies and approaches to &#39;real world&#39; research, and to question the ways in which music functions as a social, cultural, and aesthetic text.</p>
