Course summary
The BA (Hons) Creative Practice: Music Performance course at Morley College London is a flexible full- and part-time programme offering a subject specific and multidisciplinary creative education. It equips students with creative, personal, and professional skills through individual and collaborative projects, culminating in a final independently conceived project to empower their creative direction and career aspirations. In the first and second year (Level 4), students gain and develop a solid grounding in music performance, focusing additionally on wider skills of analysis, reflection, research, and digital competencies. Collaborative projects introduce the dynamic nature of the creative industries and build essential capabilities for multidisciplinary work. The third and fourth year (Level 5) encourages experimentation of students’ music performance skills through live project briefs and work-based learning with established professionals. Students further define their creative identity, applying their skills in individual and team-based projects. By exploring the context and applications of creative practice, they refine their direction and gain practical tools for societal and industry engagement. In the fifth and sixth year (Level 6), students independently design and deliver a major creative project, supported by a research methods module and professional development opportunities. This stage emphasises iterative processes like design, prototyping, collaboration, and presentation, empowering students to confidently situate their practice within the creative industries. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and apply their music performance and wider creativity skills to real-world challenges, shaping their ambitions in a supportive, individual and multidisciplinary environment. By the programme’s conclusion, graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in the creative industries and contribute meaningfully to society.
