Overview

Research project on a music topic in the community. Students apply research methods and knowledge to a research project of their own design.

This paper will equip students with research skills that will enhance their capacity for independent study in and across different areas of cultural knowledge. Through seminar discussion and critical evaluation of key methods and writings, students explore through first-hand experience the various ways that scholars represent music in the modern-day cultural context and then apply this knowledge to a research project of their own design. Focus is given to music making of any style in Dunedin.
