About this Unit
In 2020 this unit replaced by 102767 - Applied Professional Music Contexts. This unit is a study of music practice that provides students with the opportunity to create and present musical projects in the community or undertake industry internships and in so doing, develop professional practice knowledge and career readiness. It is designed to offer students insight into the practical realities of music careers post tertiary education. Musical projects may incorporate performance, composition, sound technologies, theoretical or industry-related work, music in the broader community, or any combination of these to possible or actual audiences within and beyond Western Sydney University. Students will participate in aspects of a music festival undertaken on-campus, in the years that this occurs. The unit allows students to generate extended material, to work in groups or as individuals, to document and analyse their process, to engage in practice-led writing and aspects of music business, and to bring together skills and knowledge developed in previous years. It asks the students to determine who their audience is, how they reach the identified audience and how to bring that audience to their project.
