This subject is conceived as a capstone experience for the Tailored stream in the BMus Honours and Graduate Diploma in Music. Students will design, plan and execute an original music-related project that will bring together skills and knowledge acquired through their studies and personal and professional interests. The nature of the project is flexible and will be negotiated with the subject coordinator. The project will require an independent investigation and the presentation of findings in oral and written reports.
