DEGREE COURSE IN FOLK AND TRADITIONAL MUSIC

Folkworks and Newcastle University Music Department have developed a new course to meet the multi-faceted needs of students with an interest in folk and traditional music. The course will have a strong emphasis on performance with regular one to one teaching on main and second instrument and ensemble classes. However the course is structured to provide a range of additional skills and background knowledge and to challenge students to think about the music and its context in the past, present and future with modules on arranging composing and improvising, historical and social background, world music, music business and new technology. A wide range of optional modules ensures that students can tailor the course to suit their individual needs. The course last four years and leads to a Bachelor of Music degree with an optional exit point after two years when you can be awarded a diploma.
