Modules
This degree has three stages. In Stage 1 you will encounter a variety of different times and places and engage with some fascinating people, art works, ideas and stories. This broad foundation will help you develop the skills and the confident, open approach you need to tackle more specialist modules at Stages 2 and 3. At Stage 2, you can either engage closely with musical materials in audio and notated forms or learn how to create your own music with the help of specialist computer software. You will complete the stage with a second module chosen from above or from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules. At Stage 3 you’ll choose between exploring what music means and does across a wide range of historical and contemporary contexts, including film and western art music; and a module offered by Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. In this collaborative module you’ll refine your abilities as a performer and develop your creativity. You can study both of the modules or choose a second module from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules.
