"Performance and group playing is at the heart of this course, reflecting the essential folk practices of playing by ear, and playing music with others.

Performance modules are enhanced by various applied and academic modules that create individual pathways through the degree, and reflect the diverse and exciting combination of research interests within the wider music department.

National and International artists teach as regular and guest tutors and we have close ties with Sage Gateshead.

Many of our students have gone on to develop high profile careers as performers, scholars, teachers and culture industry professionals."
