Introduction
This professionally focused, 12-month practice-based master’s degree in music performance aims to help students develop specialist skills as a performer, musical director, composer and arranger to an industry-leading standard through the creation of a significant body of original work demonstrating a distinctive artistic personality.
Over the course of the year on this music performance degree, students will refine their instrumental skills, lead ensembles and create new compositions and arrangements through a range of individual lessons and group workshops and lectures.
Additionally, students will devise and test strategies to launch, market and continuously develop their professional personas and then undertake a major body of creative and professional work over the summer as part of the Mmus, which could culminate in the performance of a new body of work or the completion of an industry placement.
Overall, the programme aims to:
- refine your specialist performance skills and creative practice;
- enable instrumentalists to develop a significant body of original creative work;
- develop a distinctive artistic personality or voice;
- prepare to lead and continuously develop in professional performance-based industry settings
