Course summary

LCCM’s MMus in Music Performance is a rigorous 12-month journey that will see students develop a wide range of creative, critical, and professionally-focused new material that reflects the changing nature of today’s industry. This professionally focused, 12-month practice-based master’s degree in music performance aims to help students develop specialist skills as a performer, musical director, composer and arranger to an industry-leading standard through the creation of a significant body of original work demonstrating a distinctive artistic personality. Over the course of the year, students will refine their instrumental skills, lead ensembles and create new compositions and arrangements through a range of individual lessons and group workshops and lectures. Additionally, students will devise and test strategies to launch, market and continuously develop their professional personas and then undertake a major body of creative and professional work over the summer, which could culminate in the performance of a new body of work or the completion of an industry placement. Overall, the programme aims to:

  • refine your specialist performance skills and creative practice;
  • enable instrumentalists to develop a significant body of original creative work;
  • develop a distinctive artistic personality or voice;
  • prepare to lead and continuously develop in professional performance-based industry settings.
Converging communications technologies, economic forces and an insatiable demand for content has led to increased competition and a greater need to specialise and create a name for oneself. With so many new channels to perform, publish and exploit musical works, artists must now combine an advanced understanding of composition, arrangement, musical direction, with skills from a broad range of related disciplines and an entrepreneurial mindset. The MMus in Music Performance seeks to develop self-directed graduates who have the confidence, experience and imagination to realise a wide range of professional, industry-leading projects at a variety of scales. Our academic team are determined to provide you with a programme that is unrivalled in its ability to embrace music as art, craft and enterprise.
