Introduction
What will it mean to be a musician in the future? How might music continue to evolve and adapt to change? How will audiences of the future access their preferred genre? Who will fund music production and consumption? Will live performance survive? How have musicians of the present and past responded to radical change? What change might we envisage from the circumstances of today? These are just some of the questions you will examine in this unit through investigation, discussion, debate and experimentation. You will be asked to explore new modes of musical work, emerging from your research, enquiry and future gazing. The unit extends students' understanding of concepts, theories and practices relating to managing and executing independent and collaborative musical projects that are future focused.
