MU351G: WORKING IN COMMUNITIES (2019-2020)

Last modified: 25 Sep 2019 09:58


Course Overview

This course is designed to enable musicians to contribute effectively in community settings by ensuring that they understand the various organisational, legal and procedural requirements of the context.  Students will be encouraged to compare a range of different organisational structures and roles in community settings and to develop skills in collaboration and partnership working, including understanding the value base and standards in use by key professions working in communities and the resultant challenges for multidisciplinary work.  Students will reflect on their own experience in communities as part of their analysis of theory and practice of community work. Taught sessions will cover theoretical content which will be integrated with placement learning through group discussion and feedback.  In this course one self-selected placement will focus on an area of interest to the student whilst there are still opportunities to engage in placements which widen knowledge of the field.
