音樂研究導論A組
- 授課教師
Our main tasks are professional and academic writings; the skills involved are critical, bibliographical and communicative. The aim is to train ourselves to be a up-to-date musician-scholar-intellectual, able to make music and make sense of music cleverly and critically.
Our course is designed as a cycle of four stages:
1. MUSING: As music is an art of the Muses, it's fitting for us musicians in the academy to start our intellectual journey by musing on our identities and responsibilities. These will be expressed practically in our bios, CVs and programs.
2. RE/SEARCHING: Then we'll learn about thesis-writing with examples of reception studies (especially in composition and performance) on Mahler, Debussy, Schoenberg, Bartok, Stravinsky.
3. SHARING: And we'll meet our "audience" by written and oral presentations, considering the aspects of form and style.
4. RETHINKING: Finally, we'll come to full circle with reviewing and musing again, towards being what we want to be. The journey has just begun...
On the whole, we'll be doing a lot of thinking, reading, talking and writing, in and out of the classroom. Our TAs will arrange with you to hold a weekly group tutorial hour. In addition, please don't hesitate to make an appointment with me at my office hour.
