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. It develops advanced skills and concepts in these areas through a mixture of creative and analytical work. Creative Musicianship 5 is a prerequisite for students wishing to progress to Creative Musicianship 6.
