Music Composition, Arranging, and Sound Design I Specialisation

The Music Composition, Arranging, and Sound Design I specialisation is characterised by the concept of music — be it performance, composition, or musicology — as a research-led process that explores questions relevant to our understanding of what it means to be human and of who we are. Music Composition, Arranging, and Sound Design I further develops students’ skills, knowledge, creativity and experience in a contemporary context. Taught through studio practice, it leads to a series of works designed according to student needs. The student’s study will be complemented by an individual program which will require relevant written or other documentation as the object of assessment.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
  1. critically apply theoretical frameworks and research techniques to composition, arranging, and/or sound design to help us understand national and international issues and problems;
  2. relate composition, arranging, and/or sound design to their wider cultural and societal context;
  3. critically evaluate ideas and develop creative solutions to complex problems; and
  4. communicate and debate complex issues both orally and in writing using a variety of media.
