Independent project, Western classical music

Students carry out an artistic project based on aim and research questions and analyse, compile and discuss their own creative process. They also critically reflect on and discuss different issues, artistic perspectives, methods and processes in the field of artistic research. The course includes instruction on how an independent project is planned and completed.

The course runs for two semesters. The first semester includes introduction to and perspectives on an artistic study, formulation of a problem, aim and research questions, planning the performance, choosing and elaborating on the form and content of the project. The project proposal is discussed in seminar before it starts. The second semester includes processing, completing and performing the project together with an oral presentation of the work and a written documentation in the form of an essay, which is discussed at a subsequent seminar.

Instruction is in the form of group sessions and seminars as well as individual and group supervision.
