In 2023, the SMA published a report on the representation of music analysis in UK undergraduate curricula (Donn and Pace 2023). The report examined the analysis provision available on undergraduate programmes in each of the four UK regions as well as in different parts of the HE sector (Russell Group, Mid-ranking, etc.). The report identified striking differences in the provision available in different parts of the HE music sector, with the majority of analysis provision concentrated within Russell Group universities and a small number of other institutions.
This online panel event is inspired by the findings of the report and will feature responses from four academics representing Russell Group, Mid-Ranking, Post-1992 and conservatoire institutions, respectively. Each participant will reflect on the findings of the report in light of their own expertise and/or experience of teaching analysis on undergraduate programmes. In so doing, these responses will attempt to probe the critical question of whether it is possible to study a music degree without engaging with music analysis, either broadly or narrowly conceived.
As suggested by the event’s title, participants will reflect chiefly on their expertise/experience relating to changes which have taken place in undergraduate analysis provision over the last several decades. Planning is currently underway for a second panel event titled ‘Analysis: Now and in the Future’ in which participants will discuss a variety of initiatives they have developed to support undergraduates in the area of score-based music literacy.
The event will include the following participants:
- Prof. Julian Horton (Durham University)
- Dr Inja Stanović (University of Surrey)
- Dr Chris Dromey (Middlesex University)
- Dr Jonathan Clinch (Royal Academy of Music)
The event will also feature an introduction by trustee Prof. Ian Pace (City St George’s, University of London) and will be chaired by student representative Rebekah Donn (Edinburgh Napier University).
