约克大学 · 音乐表演（历史表演实践）文学硕士 硕士

📖 项目简介

All the MA Music Performance programmes emphasise independence and creativity. You will have the freedom to study the music that interests you as a performer and researcher.

Over the course, you will study a series of core and option modules, including up to three assessed recitals. You’ll receive a very generous allowance of one-to-one tuition with your instrumental or vocal teacher over the year. You are also strongly encouraged to participate in the department’s ensembles and research community. You will choose from a range of options, including a collaborative performance project. You can also select from our menu of advanced undergraduate modules which look intensively into specific topics and repertoires.

During the course, you will:

• Learn to use evaluate primary sources and current scholarship to understand the performance cultures and practices associated with your chosen repertoire
• Develop an artistic approach that combines historical musical practices and cultures with a 21st century context
• Consider philosophical questions such as: ‘How much can we know about how music sounded in the past?’, as well as the practical and ethical issues around past cultures and values
• Use historically informed performance as a research method and explore the wider landscape of practice-based and artistic research
• Gain confidence presenting your ideas to a variety of audiences in performance, writing and other media where appropriate.
• Modules
• Final project
• Recital I
• Developing Your Artistic Practice I
• Research Skills for Musicians
• Developing Your Artistic Practice II

You'll also take a range of option modules. Examples from previous years have included:

• Collaborative Project
• Recital II *

Some option module combinations may not be possible. The options available to you will be confirmed after you begin your course.

Our modules may change to reflect the latest academic thinking and expertise of our staff, and in line with Department/School academic planning.

If you're taking the part-time route, you will be required to take Recital II rather than an option module as in the full-time programme. This will help you maintain your performance skills across the 2-year programme.

Your course will conclude with a public recital, for which you will design and prepare a substantial programme of solo and/or ensemble music. Where possible and appropriate, your recital will take place at the National Centre for Early Music . You will be supported by tutorials and instrumental or vocal lessons.

Every course at York is built on a distinctive set of learning outcomes. These will give you a clear understanding of what you will be able to accomplish at the end of the course and help you explain what you can offer employers. Our academics identify the knowledge, skills, and experiences you'll need upon graduation and then design the course to get you there.

• Research independently and collaboratively with the sophistication, close attention to detail and creative flair developed through the advanced study of music at Masters level
• Lead, or constructively contribute to, advanced-level musical activity by performing and communicating about performance at a professional level, supported by advanced skills of critical listening and thinking, curating, directing, analysing, editing, and improvising as appropriate
• Plan and execute critically informed performances through rigorous planning and the application of appropriate principles and methods, theoretical knowledge, methodologies, practical techniques and experience, and artistic imagination
• Communicate at an advanced level on a range of issues relating to the history and present of musical repertoire and its performance, its relation to wider culture, and its technical and artistic execution, using appropriate written and oral media and music-making activities
• Apply the musical and transferable skills gained throughout the programme with confidence and aptitude i
