MA Music and the Environment

Creative artists make a significant contribution to the sustainability of the creative economy, particularly in rural communities. The MA Music and the Environment provides a foundation for musicians to develop new paths for creative, entrepreneurial and environmentally responsible endeavours. In addition the course equips musicians to work within their own community, establishing effective and successful contributions to their local economy. The course focuses on the three distinct but interrelated themes of music performance and creation; the cultural and historical context; and the creative economy and sustainability. Activities during the course encourage and demand the skills of observation, investigation, experimentation, reflection, creation, innovation and design.
