Course Overview

The course at Durham prides itself on combining the traditional and the modern in the study of music. The learning of techniques such as harmony, counterpoint, and aural skills are juxtaposed with an investigation of the most up-to-date thinking in musicology, critical theory, composition (acoustic and electroacoustic), analysis, ethnomusicology, and performance. Moreover, our teaching, essentially research-led, is enhanced by distinctive staff specializations that include nineteenth- and twentieth-century British music, music of the Soviet Union, musical life in France and Germany, historically-informed performance, Korean and Indian music, popular music, music technology, conducting music psychology, and contemporary composition.
