4-Term Pathway - Pre-Master's for Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Master of Music - Performance

The MMus Performance at the University of Liverpool offers:

• Development of solo and ensemble performance

• Development of teaching practice (solo, group and complementary approaches)

• Development of research skills and research projects appropriate to performance

• Opportunities to perform with members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for performance assessments

• Opportunities to do other performance work beyond standard recitals (e.g. recording and videos)

In addition to the students' performance study, they'll explore approaches towards and techniques for teaching Music, and develop the skills to analyze performances of a wide variety of repertoires, enabling them to question assumptions about performances made by performers today. Performance accounts for 40 of the 180 credits in the flexible modular scheme, and involves 1-2-1 tuition as well as weekly group workshops. Students will study a further 40 credits in pedagogy, exploring the skills and processes of teaching and learning a musical instrument or voice. The remainder of the taught modules will focus on research skills, preparing students to undertake a Major Project over the summer.
