Throughout the course you will engage in activities to analyse music from diverse local and global contexts. These will take the form of
rationales to justify the choice of source, context and link to an area of inquiry
commentaries to explain the experimentation process and how the pieces evolve
You will submit a research and experiment report of 1,500 words (max).
and apply the findings to your practical experiments by continuously refining your work in the light of your research thus prompting more lines of inquiry
Through experimenting as researchers, you will gain deeper understanding about music by:
analysing music to inform your own work
reflecting on how the music you are studying will inform your own practice
reflecting on how to develop the music you are working on
making musical decisions in relation to your findings
experimenting with musical material, musical findings and musical skills.
