Context Studies in Music and Critical Performance
In Context Studies in Music and Critical Performance we are interested in the big issues. Why does music matter? How do understandings of music differ across time, place and culture? How can we help facilitate the sustainability of diverse musical knowledge and practice across the planet for future generations?
Teaching Program
Units in Context Studies in Music and Critical Performance equip students to understand the importance of music and music-related practices in various societies and cultures, and to recognise the many factors that shape the creation, performance and meaning of musical works.
Studying this course adds value to our contemporary understanding of music and provides depth to our knowledge about music as a creative practice. Furthermore, units in this program enable students to develop lifelong, transferable skills, including clear and critical thinking, analytical problem solving, research techniques, and writing and communication skills.
