Students must be enrolled for the BA in Creative Arts.

The aim of the course is to develop an independent approach to music composition and to equip students with the critical ability to identify their own sound in music.

Students will work on own compositions which they produce over the course of the semester as well as other assignments that focus on the strengthening of musical form and harmony. A main emphasis will be placed on close listening and analysing the works with respect to how compositions and arrangements correspond with artistic intentions.

Teaching spans 3 hours a week over one semester The students' own compositions and other assignments are discussed and developed through critical conversations - collectively and individually. Active participation: the course requires 80% class attendance and assignments/submissions at required deadlines. Active participation is a prerequisite for students to attend examination.
