A distinguishing characteristic of research in the creative arts, including performance, composition, and the creative aspects of music technology, is that the outputs of the research can be creative outputs, such as a recital, or a portfolio of compositions, or a new technological process. This course provides all researchers in music with an introduction to the theories and methods underpinning creative practice as research, drawing on written studies on creative practice as research, exegeses, creative outputs, and case studies. For musicologists, the course will provide understandings and tools for them to take creative practice into consideration in their own research, and for creative practitioners it will provide understandings and tools for the writing of an exegesis.
