This course will introduce students to a range of source materials and will develop skills in the areas of disciplinary-specific methods and concepts. It will provide students an opportunity to complete an extended and focused piece of research on a musical topic. These topics can engage with a range of areas including current research projects of the school, collections held at national cultural institutions, and digital collections.

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- apply research skills appropriate to their area of research, and understand the materials, critical, historical, and oral sources of music research;
- work independently with minimal supervision;
