Our Folk and Traditional Music degree were the first of its kind in England. The program focuses on the traditional music and song of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. National and international artists teach as regular and guest tutors on this degree. Performance and group playing are at the heart of this course, but you will also study the social and cultural context of traditional and folk music, and how music helps to construct identity and culture. As you progress through the degree you will have increasing freedom to choose modules to tailor your studies, including from our contemporary and popular, and classical music degrees. Our partnership with Sage Gateshead is a strong feature of the course, with some of the teaching taking place there, as well as a wealth of performance opportunities.
