Extract

Young musicians wishing to study music in higher education now have a variety of options open to them. One of these, a relatively recent development, is Creative/Performing Arts degree courses, where students can study music in an interdisciplinary setting. This article sets out to trace the emergence of such courses and to present in a descriptive and informative way their philosophy, admissions procedures, general principles of organisation, curricular content and approach, assessment policies and graduate employment possibilities.
