This subject will be delivered on-line to provide students with the skills necessary to engage in practice- based research in music. Students will learn how to establish area and context for their practice-based research as well as define clear research questions for critical examination. Focusing upon their solo and group rehearsal and performance processes they will seek out innovation and new knowledge engaging with the key research techniques.
Students will be supported through on-line exercises to define a research question, develop a critical summary of relevant theory and literature, construct a conceptual framework, and consider ethical issues and prepare a research proposal for their project.
