Course Overview
Core modules will allow you to create your own portfolio of original compositions - which can include electro-acoustic work - underpinned by your study of the principles of composition and aesthetic theory. You-ll look at orchestration, arrangement and remix. Then you-ll choose from optional modules allowing you to explore different aspects of music - you could choose computer music, musicology, performance, editing and source studies, psychology of music or more to inform your own creative work. The Critical and Experimental Composition programme is offered by the University of Leeds. Guided by expert researchers and experienced composers and performers, you-ll have access to a wide range of facilities to explore your own ideas. You could even have some of your work performed by our ensemble, LS2, or benefit from the many opportunities you-ll find in the city-s vibrant live music scene. We have a variety of exciting facilities to support your learning, including rehearsal, performance and practice spaces, a lab for studying the psychology of music and studios for sound recording, software development and computer music composition. We also have good working relationships with a range of prestigious arts organisations: we host BBC Radio 3 concerts and the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition, as well as enjoying a close partnership with Opera North and many others in a city with a thriving music and cultural scene.
