This is the fifth in a series of five courses that aim to develop skills and
the understanding of musical organisation, structures and techniques, shared
musical vocabularies, musical representation and communication. Examples
from a wide diversity of musical styles and periods are presented. The
course also provides the opportunity to apply these tools and abilities
creatively in any genre or era as defined by the interest of the student.
Performers/composers/producers in the 21st century need to be adaptable to
different contexts and inventive with their performance and repertoire. This
course particularly focuses on arrangement, orchestration, reinterpretation
and repertoire creation, using traditional and non-traditional approaches to
music and sound making.
