Musicology

Overview

Students will acquire the skills and techniques of musicological research, including such issues as music bibliography, editorial and archival practices, as well as the mechanics of dissertation writing. They will conceive, plan and complete a dissertation, and present a paper at a conference organised by the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music mid-way through the two semesters of enrolment.

To support the writing of the dissertation, students will undertake a Music Research subject, introducing them to current issues in musicology and the variety of resources and methodologies available for musicological research. Students will also choose academic elective subjects relevant to their area of research and interest.
