The Creative Musicianship courses are a series of six courses integrating a broad suite of skills that underpins the study of the various languages of music - classical, jazz, contemporary and cross-cultural. Creative Musicianship 5 builds on the fundamental skills students develop during Creative Musicianship 1-4, and is intended for students interested in developing their understanding of, and skills in, composition, improvisation, and the creative use of musical language.

Creative Musicianship 5 is a prerequisite for students wishing to progress to Creative Musicianship 6.
