internationally distinctive programme, providing opportunities to examine the art and science of performance in real-world educational and professional contexts. It challenges students to engage with key facets of peak performance, musicians’ health and wellbeing, musical development, and effective learning and teaching. <BR> <BR>Drawing on the expertise and facilities of the Centre for Performance Science - as well as the lively performance environment of the RCM and of London - the programme aims to help students develop a robust understanding of performance through the lens of the scientific method, while gaining the critical and analytical skills necessary to conduct high quality practical work and independent research in this field. <BR><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN> <BR></FONT></FONT><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"><FONT size=2><STRONG>CONTENT <BR><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN> <BR></STRONG>Seminars and

learning and teaching. <BR> <BR><STRONG>Trends and Methods in Performance Science</STRONG> (30 credits) <BR>An introduction to the scientific method and related methodological approaches appropriate to conducting independent research in performance science, explored through seminars and an international speaker series highlighting the latest developments in the field. <BR> <BR><STRONG>Research Project and Dissertation</STRONG> (60 credits)<BR>The application of knowledge and experience to complete an independent research project, informed and shaped by practical, theoretical, and ethical considerations. <BR><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN> <BR><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN><STRONG>P</STRONG></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"><SPAN class=268264413-14102010><STRONG>ROSPECTIVE STUDENTS</STRONG> <BR></SPAN><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN> <BR>The programme will benefit anyone who is
motivated to gain a scientific understanding of how music is created, learned, performed, and perceived, including performers and teachers aiming to progress their current careers through continued professional development. Equally, it serves as an ideal base for those wishing to pursue advanced research (PhD/DMus) and teaching in performance science, music psychology, or musicians’ health, or in any area in which knowledge of methods and techniques in science would be an advantage. <BR><SPAN class=268264413-14102010></SPAN> <BR></FONT><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">The programme is aimed primarily at musicians and other performing artists, although candidates from other disciplines will be considered</FONT></FONT><SPAN class=268264413-14102010><FONT size=2 face="Trebuchet MS">. <BR> <BR></FONT></SPAN><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"><FONT size=2><STRONG>LEARN MORE <BR></STRONG> <BR>F<SPAN class=268264413-14102010>or fu</SPAN>rther
