<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">OVERVIEW </span></strong><b><br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></strong><br>
</b>The MSc in Performance Science is an 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>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">CONTENT </span></strong><b><br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif""> </span></strong><br>
</b>Seminars and tutorials are organized according to the following core units: <br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Psychology of Performance</span></strong> (30 credits)
<br>
An introduction to processes and perspectives that define and underpin performance psychology, including the mental skills that enable effective practice and successful performance.
<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Musicians' Health and Wellbeing</span></strong> (30 credits)
<br>
An examination of the physical and mental demands of music making and the ways musicians at all levels meet those demands.
<em><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Delivered in partnership with the MSc in Performing Arts Medicine at University College London.</span></em>
<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Musical Development</span></strong> (30 credits)
<br>
An analysis of fundamental principles of musical development, education, and expertise, exploring music perception and production throughout the lifespan and implications for learning and teaching.
<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Trends and Methods in Performance Science</span></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><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Research Project and Dissertation</span></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>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS</span></strong> <br>
<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>
<br>
The programme is aimed primarily at musicians and other performing artists, although candidates from other disciplines will be considered. <br>
