Contemporary Music Production: Planning and Developing an Independent Project enables students to plan and develop a large music project that blends composition, recording, and performance. Students apply knowledge from the standalone skills they have learned in practical, research, and theoretical contexts during their degree to plan and develop a musical work. Large projects such as an album can form the cornerstone of a contemporary music career but require various creative, technical, and organisational skills. Students will develop a project in consultation with the course convenor that aligns with the student’s interests and course capacity. At the end of this course, students will have successfully developed a proposal and completed a project milestone.
