Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Taught sessions for this module will be in the form of fortnightly seminars in which a range of scholarly/artistic transmission methods will be explored, discussed, critiqued, within the group (LO1). You will contribute to each of these sessions by presenting details of your transmission strategies for consideration by the group (LO2) and engaging in discussions to critically reflect on your work, and the work of your peers (LO2 and LO3). You will also receive individual tutorials with a member of staff with an interest/expertise in their area of research/practice. In Trimester 3, you will be supported by 2 intensive teaching weeks (week 4 and week 9), the second of which will include the MA Music Conference Day.

Formative Assessment:
In trimester 2, you will give an informal presentation to peers and tutors in which you will explain your emerging transmission strategies for your work and receive feedback and critique from your audience. In trimester 3 you will be required to present your work during the 1st intensive study week in trimester 3 (week 4), which will provide a valuable opportunity for you to receive feed-forward from staff and peers and engage in critically reflective discussions about your work and the work of your peers.

Summative Assessment:
You will design and execute a project in your chosen area of interest.

Component 1:

In week 9 of trimester 3, you will give a 25 minute public 'poster' presentation (which can include multimedia content) at the MA Music Conference Day. This presentation will be a demonstration of, and critical discussion about the work undertaken and the theoretical ideas explored in this module.

Component 2:

You will submit evidence of the transmission of your work and a reflective critique of your project. As you design your own project, each will differ in terms of approach to transmission, form, and content. Written projects will be in the region of 6000 words and practical projects will be of equivalent scope and duration and details will be negotiated with your supervisor.
