Description

Gain a global perspective of community music practice in the home of the International Centre for Community Music (ICCM).

This course has been developed with the student practitioner in mind. We will enable you to deepen your understanding of community music by exploring practice-led research, which is underpinned by theory. The programme offers students a unique opportunity to become a member of the ICCM, which is located within York St John University.

You will reflect deeply on your existing practice on this programme, whilst receiving support from our experts to challenge and test new ideas through conducting research and exploring theoretical frameworks. Your own practice is at the heart of this course, with an independent supervised project alongside two distinctive modules; Community Music Perspectives and Research Ideas and Practices.

As part of this course you will become a member of the ICCM, which will provide you with an array of special opportunities to contribute to the development and growth of community music practice and scholarship worldwide. You will have the opportunity to play a key part in developing the activities of the Centre, which includes student research symposiums, our online journal Transform: New Voices in Community Music and in networking events.
