Handbook

In Advanced Studies in Music History & Culture 2 you will apply knowledge and skills developed in electives, core courses and specialisation specific courses, in sustained engagement with a single topic, which will be explored in depth. In the early stages of the course you will outline an existing body of scholarship by assembling and annotating a bibliography, which will form the basis of a presentation that introduces your topic to the class. The central part of the course will be the collaborative mentoring of your topic, in preparation for the final essay. This mentoring will also enable you to transfer the collaborative skills that you have developed as a musician to scholarly research and criticism. Through the construction of a bibliography and collaborative mentoring of your topic you will hone the critical and skills for writing a sustained, detailed, and well supported argument.
