About Music Performance Practice, MA - at University of Birmingham

Uniquely, we offer degrees in performance practice at MA by Research and PhD levels, which allows performers of a proven ability to develop their work on historically-informed performances of western art music. The programmes are assessed by performance supported by written work which demonstrates a high level of ability in presenting, and reasoning from, historical evidence relating to performance practice.

The MA by Research in Performance Practice is examined by: thesis of c.20,000 words, a performance not exceeding 45 minutes actual performance time (30-35 minutes for wind and brass players) which illustrates, at least in part, ideas raised in the thesis, a written programme note for, and detailed critical commentary on, the performance.
