Detailed Description
What is distinctive and discipline-specific about teaching and learning in screen music? And how might pedagogic practices relating to screen music inform — and be informed by — teaching and learning in other areas of the curriculum (both within Music, Film and Media Studies, and other disciplines)? Despite the popularity of screen music as an area of study in higher education (from both analytical and practical perspectives), it remains a relatively neglected topic of pedagogic research, notwithstanding important work from, among others, Elsie Walker (2012, 2024) and the late Philip Tagg (2013). This study day seeks to open out the study of screen-music teaching and learning across diverse curricular and disciplinary perspectives, and to chart areas of continuity and change in screen-music pedagogies across a variety of institutional and geographical contexts.
The programme features contributions from leading scholars and pedagogues on topics including: module and programme design at undergraduate and taught postgraduate levels, authentic approaches to learning and assessment, pedagogic tools for teaching screen music, and transitions between school- and university-level curricula.
