Master of Music - Performance (W3BG)

The Master of Music - Performance course is ideal for students who are already proficient instrumental or vocal performers, and wish to refine their skills and extend their knowledge. On this programme they will refine their technical and interpretative skills, acquire a deeper understanding of contemporary and historical contexts relating to the performance of music, and develop skills and methodologies to undertake specialist research relating to their creative practice. They will also hone high-level transferable skills in critical thinking, conceptual thinking, problem solving, analysis, communication, self-direction and originality.

Students will work closely with professional performers and established researchers, most of whom have international profiles. The School enjoys close links with industrial and third-sector partners such as Welsh National Opera, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Ensemble Cymru, and it is often possible for them to undertake a work placement during the course of the programme.
