TABLE OF CONTENTS

CONTENT

The contact time on this module will consist of a work-based learning strand (seminars, workshops), a series of lectures on The Creative Musician (developing artistic ideas; business planning, project design, collaboration; professional presentation and responsibility), and independent study (including research and peer collaboration).

Following on from Artist Development 2, students will select a work-based learning strand to develop their experience of working in a particular professional setting. These strands are advertised to students in their 2nd   year;  indicative  options  include  Music  Education,  Digital  Production  and  Broadcasting,  Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Music in Hospitals, and Creative Leadership within Community Music.

A series of seminars, briefings and workshops led by industry specialists and specialist staff within the RNCM will support each work-based learning strand and support will be provided for students to develop the digital skills necessary to complete part of the assessment (video blogs).

All students will undertake reflection throughout the module, which will form the assessment at the end of Semester 2. The content of the reflection depends on the placement activity of each student, but will normally include reflection on creative and intellectual skills developed during the modXle, and leaUning poinWV Zhich can be Waken foUZaUd inWo VWXdenWV¶ fXWXUe caUeeUV.

AV paUW of each ZoUk-based learning strand, students will be expected to work collaboratively with their  peers  and  undertake  directed  and  independent  research relevant to the strand they have selected.

Alongside  the  work-based  learning  activities,  students  will  develop  their  artistic  leadership  and entrepreneurship skills through a parallel series of lectures, in order to plan for their creative project in their final year.
