Honours Music Major Project Part 1

The primary purpose of this course is to provide students with the skills and understanding to produce a significant written or performed project relevant to their specialisation. This will involve a performed program of approximately 50 minutes duration plus a 3000 word Exegesis, or a written paper of approximately 12,000 words or original composition of equivalent musical significance. Projects must demonstrate familiarity with and skills in the formulation of appropriate creative ideas bearing upon the specialisation concerned and deemed to be at Honours level. Preparatory work will be supervised individually or in small groups as approved by the Conservatorium and will involve the student in considerable time spent developing specialist knowledge, skills and insights bearing upon the project to be completed. Focused research and the development of finessed creative output are at the heart of this project. To assist with the completion of the project student study will include individual or small group (maximum 4 students) supervisions/lessons directed by specialist conservatorium staff.
