Music Inquiry

This unit introduces students to the world of musicological research and familiarises them with methods and sources within Music and the Creative Arts. The unit examines how musicology and creative arts, in particular, approach research and inquiry. Students are encouraged to question the intentions and validity of information from a variety of sources as they come to understand important theoretical and ethical challenges in the research and production of musical works. Students also develop an understanding of the connection between musicological contexts and the language and practice of music. Students are encouraged to contemplate the foci and result of musicological inquiries in the arrangement, practice and performance of musical works.
