Abstract:

Music history is a core requirement for most undergraduate music degrees. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of music history teaching in music degrees in Higher Education (HE) in four different countries (Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Greece and England). It also aims to evaluate a new music history teaching model that was developed for a university in Cyprus. The new model consists of approaches focused on a student-centred learning method that introduces the use of primary sources and cooperative learning. Three studies were conducted: a qualitative study (Study 1), a mixe

Abstract:

The upgrading of facilities for the Music Department of the University of Pretoria has long been overdue. The Department is constantly growing in terms of enrolment numbers and academic expertise, however, the facilities for the Department are limited and obsolete. This dissertation will thus explore the possibilities of extending and converting the existing Music Department's facilities in an effort to provide sufficient venues for performances and tuition, as well as portray the Department's contemporary image and dynamics through its new facilities on Campus in an effort to revitalise the m

Abstract:

This thesis describes a qualitative action research process undertaken in the field over approximately eight years of the development of an alternative paradigm for music education. This new paradigm evolved from a simple, practical approach that was not, in the first instance, designed to be transformational, but which quickly showed itself to have potential for providing a different model for conceptualising musical engagement. ¶ It is argued that the standard and widely accepted approach to music education has aspects that does not encourage on-going music making.

This study explores the perceptions of fifteen students from the University of Pretoria’s School of the Arts about the feminist themes in Beyoncé’s music. Beyoncé is a self-proclaimed feminist who advocates for women through her music. An extensive literature review reveals how she can be considered a feminist icon within the popular music genre by considering the development of feminism, feminist theories and themes, and popular music as a locus of social change in popular culture.

This thesis explores the experience of studying taught music master’s degrees by observing both student and higher education perspectives. Little is currently known about the career transitions of taught postgraduate students, as until recently research has tended to focus upon undergraduates and research postgraduates. Additionally, much of the research on musicians’ career transitions has considered music education and performance students. The current thesis focuses upon musicology and music psychology degrees which were non-vocational and lacked compulsory music-making course content. A tw

Post-minimalist American composer Julius Eastman's residency at Northwestern University in 1980 provides a rare opportunity to mitigate, if not eliminate, the problems involved in defining his compositional style.

Eastman's surviving scores are notated in a fragmentary and idiosyncratic fashion and the composer's o
