Creative Music Practice

The PhD in Creative Music Practice is an opportunity for you to pursue practice-led research in the field of music at the highest level.

This will involve research that combines textual and musical outputs, for example:

* composition

* performance (either of original or pre-existing repertoire)

* installation

* sound design

* interactive music software

Typical applicants to this programme include:

* composer-theorists who wish to carry out research into and practice of particular compositional models * performers who wish to deepen their practice through musicological research

* computer-music composers who wish to develop documented hardware/software systems for their music

* performers with a need to study the techniques and organology of period instruments

* instrument builders/researchers seeking historical techniques found in evidence from the original instruments
