The MA Music and the Environment course provides a foundation for musicians to develop new paths for creative, entrepreneurial and environmentally responsible endeavours. In addition, the course equips musicians to work within their own community, establishing effective and successful contributions to their local economy.
It focuses on the three distinct but interrelated themes of music performance and creation: the cultural and historical context; and the creative economy and sustainability. Activities during the course encourage and demand the skills of observation, investigation, experimentation, reflection, creation, innovation and design.
Subject studied in this course include:
- Music performance
- Music creation
- Music in cultural and historical context
- Understanding the creative economy & sustainability
You will study through supported online learning using the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE). This includes video conference lectures (available in real-time or recordings) and the opportunity to attend an initial face-to-face residential.
