Course Description

MU3521 is based on Judith Sachs writing on innovative professional development, which supports the writing of a major project proposal. This proposal is then negotiated and delivered in full in MU401C. Dissertation in Music and Communities provides an in-depth contextual analysis of the placement environment chosen in MU3521 and implemented in MU401C.

Students will be supported to develop creative, research and business practice skills. They will be required to collaborate on and develop a project proposal for a music and communities context which will directly inform the field of work to be subsequently undertaken in MU 401C (Placement 3) and MU 4097 (Dissertation in Music and Communities).
