Preface A very warm welcome to you all to the Master of Music at Codarts. In this programme you study together with students in a wide variety of genres: jazz, classical music, pop, flamenco, Indian music, Turkish music, tango and Latin. For two years you as students and we as staff will work together, to let you become exactly the musician or composer that you want to be. This handbook Master of Music is to be used next to the Codarts Study Guide which contains more general information about studying at Codarts. Both are meant to help and guide you during the studies to find your way at Codarts. Who is who, where to go and what does the master program at Codarts actually look like can be easily found. So, if you feel lost, have worries or for instance don’t know what you have to do, the Handbook and Study Guide will provide the answer or at least will guide you to the right person to consult. Our master programme is structured in such a way that it facilitates the students to design a certain part of their studies themselves. Apart from the three core elements of the studies: main subject, artistic research and ensemble playing, we offer numerous possibilities to follow a tailor-made programme, including possibilities to choose electives at the Royal Conservatoire and the Erasmus University and taking the opportunity to experience the different music genres which are present at Codarts. If you have questions or special wishes in this respect do not hesitate to ask. Of course, becoming a better musician and doing proper artistic research requires hard work of you as well as from the staff. Teachers and research coaches will therefore do their utmost to help you getting the most out of your studies. Enjoy your studies! Rob Broek Head Master of Music

2. Master of Music curriculum The Master of Music degree programme comprises 120 credit (based on ECTS; the European Credit Transfer System) to be obtained in two years of study (1 credit = 28 study hours). Study length is 2 years, full-time study. Language of instruction: Dutch and English

2.1 Credit point table Master of Music

Study year 1 Study year 2

Main subject 30 30

Ensemble playing 10 10

Artistic research 10 10

Free space 10 10

total number credit points

60 60

For your main subject you will obtain 30 credit points. These points are based on the number of contact hours you have with your main subject teacher(s), being 70 minutes per week, self-study hours and the practical exams. The other 30 credits of each study year consist of:

10 credit points for ensemble playing. This can be either within your department at Codarts, crossover ensembles from different departments, ensembles outside the school or ensemble-related activities for composers;

10 credit points for artistic research (see chapter 3 of this handbook); 10 credit points free space.


2.2 Main subject

You are entitled to have 70 minutes of individual main subject classes per teaching week, i.e. 32 weeks per year. All classes are scheduled in consultation with your main subject teacher. The teacher will contact you in the first week of September. If you experience trouble in scheduling the lessons or contacting your main subject teacher, please let us know via [email protected].

2.2.1 Combined main subject

Many students nowadays opt for a combined main subject, to allow for an optimum development of their unique artistic personality. This means that you follow main subject classes with two different teachers, and split the 70 minutes among them. Many combinations are possible, even cross-academy, but need to be proposed to and approved by Rob Broek first, as head of the Master of Music. To make an appointment please send an email with your proposal and request to [email protected].

2.2.2 Main subject exams

At the end of each study year you will perform a Master recital, a presentation of your main subject. The recital lasts one hour, including changes, tuning, applause etc.

Your first year Master recital is assessed by a committee of Codarts main subject teachers. For the second year master recital the committee is extended with an external member. Please note that study credits will only be awarded if you have passed the full module. In other words: if a module contains more than one exam, all exams must be passed before study credits will be awarded. It is therefore imperative that you inform yourself about the recent version of the module description as published on the Codarts intranet. Please follow this link:

http://intranet.codarts.nl/nl/student/Paginas/modulebeschrijvingen.aspx

2.3 Orchestra projects | for Classical Music students only Master of Music classical music students are obliged to participate in two orchestra projects. These regular orchestra and ensemble projects are listed in the Bachelor Student




Study Guide Classical Music. You will receive an email which explains how to apply for the projects of your preference. NB: The Bachelor Study Guide is available:

- on Codarts intranet: http://intranet.codarts.nl/en/student/Pages/studiegids.aspx - as hard copy at the desk of the management assistant.

Every school year there are two project weeks, one in October and one in March. Every Project Week highlights one of the educational aspects of your main subject. Master students are not obliged to participate in the Project Weeks, but are free to participate when these projects do not clash with Master of Music classes.

2.4 Free space

Master students are free to spend this study time on professional activities in addition to the curriculum. You may, for instance:

gain professional experience by being placed in a professional orchestra or ensemble;

choose to take masterclasses, attend workshops or international competitions; follow minors and/or electives at Codarts and the Royal Conservatoire The Hague; deepen your theoretical knowledge by attending a single or even several series of

lectures at the Erasmus University. 2.4.1 Electives Master of Music students can follow electives at Codarts, The Erasmus University, and the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. Since each institute handles specific requirements, regulations, schedules and deadlines, make sure to carefully read the provided information. An overview of all electives can be found in the Elective Guide that will be - sent to you by email; - available on Codarts intranet: https://intranet.codarts.nl/nl/student/master_research/Paginas/Choice-Modules.aspx If you have any further questions, please contact the management assistant: [email protected].

http://intranet.codarts.nl/en/student/Pages/studiegids.aspx



2.4.4 Portfolio In order to obtain these 10 credit points, you need to create a portfolio at the end of each study year. In the portfolio you describe all the study related activities that you undertook as part of the Free Space, including your motivation and evaluation for these activities, and the hours spent. The hours need to equal a total of 10 x 28 = 280 hours. The portfolio format and instructions for submission are available on Codarts intranet.

2.5 Personal Master budget

Master students get a personal budget of € 500 per study year. This budget is meant for study related material or activities, such as books or trips for your research, recording devices, workshops, extra classes and/or coaching, masterclasses etc. NB: Extra classes from a Codarts teacher/ coach costs € 50,- per hour. To apply for the budget you send the a scan of the receipt(s) in PDF format to [email protected], and mention: - total amount you wish to get reimbursed, - bank account number, - your home address. The payment can take up to 30 days. Please note:

any budget not (completely) used in the first year can still be used in the second year;

the personal budget is only valid for the study length of 2 years.


3. Artistic Research curriculum

3.1 Introduction

So you want to be a Master? You better start researching now. Performing or creating confidently, on a high level, is undoubtedly a goal you are striving for. Performers may practice long hours to play Mozart, Messiaen, or Monk in a virtuosic and flawless way. Composers may sharpen their tools on the subjects of counterpoint, harmony and orchestration. Improvisers might pay attention to the use of tonal systems and chord progressions. But a musical performance or creation at a high level requires more than supple muscles and a richly filled toolbox of technical skills: The point is finding a way to use these skills and being able to understand the purpose. You may call that creativity. Creativity thrives not only on ability, but also on knowledge and understanding: this is exactly what artistic research produces. Codarts strives to empower you to find the right balance by turning you into a reflective practitioner: an autonomous artist who is able to make informed decisions. This is why Artistic Research is an integral part of your Master of Music education, and complementary to your main subject. Artistic Research opens your mind to many questions: What is my dream or my vision for my artistic future? How and where shall I be performing? What will be my artistic signature as a performer, improviser, arranger, or composer? Thinking about these questions concerning your future, will help you to formulate a research question that gets you closer to the realization of at least a part of your dream. Artistic research is about choosing a topic that is closely connected to your functioning as a performer-creator, carrying out research, finding answers, and integrating these answers into your artistic performance-creation as you go. You will experience that research and performance-creation are two sides of the same coin. The result of your research is a fruitful blend: a delicate composition, a sublime arrangement, a breath-taking performance, all based on knowledge and understanding. And as a result you will be a more confident, resolute, and firm artist, capable of pleasing and surprising your audience comfortably and in perfect balance. Artistic research invites you to enter a space of questioning and rethinking accepted or automatic ways of doing things. It allows you to explore new ways of doing, new ideas, new knowledge, and new skills. Artistic Research will provide you with the material for creative development and help to enrich and strengthen your artistic signature. Artistic research is not in addition to performance or creation: it is essential to it.


3.2 Artistic Research Curriculum The Master of Music offers an artistic research curriculum embedded in the practice of your main subject. The curriculum aims to develop your research skills alongside your artistic skills. The interplay between music education, research and professional practice is seen as beneficial for the training of a new generation of self-steering, reflective musicians. The focus therefore is on practice-based research, i.e. research in-and-through your performance and creation. The research curriculum strives for blended learning by combining several forms of knowledge acquisition and skill development: through interactive lessons (research classes), online learning (instruction video’s), group work and peer to peer feedback (domain meetings, clinics) and self-study. The study credits for the Artistic Research (AR) curriculum are divided over two years:

10 ECTS for module AR|1 in year 1 (see appendix 1) 10 ECTS for module AR|2 in year 2 (see appendix 2).

It is recommended that you read the AR module descriptions in order to be informed about issues like requirements for attendance and (re-)examination procedures.

3.2.1 Content of the Artistic Research curriculum

The Artistic Research curriculum encompasses four semesters over two academic years. All classes are taught in English. The AR events listed in the AR Time Table are compulsory: AR Design course, domain meetings, clinics (to subscribe, see below), AR feedback sessions and examinations, and the Codarts Research Festival. The Introduction is a compulsory day for all first year Master of Music students. It marks the start of your two-year Master journey; a journey of personal and artistic development, driven by research. You will meet your peers, the research coaches and Master staff members. The program introduces you to the Master and Artistic Research curriculum and will connect you to your research domain and coach. The Artistic Research Design Course in the first semester teaches you the process of framing your research topic or question and of developing a research project. The reader ‘Artistic Research Design, a Researcher’s Toolbox’ introduces a number of research tools, offers exposure to a range of research methods and teaches you how to work with them. You also learn how to perform and present your research and to give and receive feedback.


The course is taught by your research coach in your own domain group. AR domain meetings are scheduled from the second semester onwards, on a monthly basis. These meetings provide the space for sharing and exchanging your research with your peers and experts, doing trial presentations, and receiving and giving feedback. Your coach will moderate the meetings and monitor your progress. In addition, you are entitled to individual one-on-one coaching and feedback throughout the study year, which you organise with your coach. In the Clinics, both 1st and 2nd year Master students of all domains will actively work and learn together. Each Clinic introduces new research tools and skills through lectures, workshops and presentations programmed around a central theme. Clinics are preceded by a preparatory task that you have to do at home in order to effectively participate in the workshop. Before mid-September of each school year you need to subscribe for four clinics out of ten. You will receive a separate email with the list of topics and full descriptions of each clinic, and instructions for how to subscribe. All first and second year Master of Music students choose 4 out of the 10 Clinics below in the school year 2017-18: 1. Strategies in Practice is about getting hands on experience in using research strategies

for a number of different artistic practices. It will help you to discover the multiple ways in which they can be applied to your own trajectory.

2. Score: Analysis and Annotation: In most research projects some sort of analysis will be used. We can analyse music and performance in many different ways, but also the data we collect needs to be analysed before we can use it. In this clinic we explore different kinds of analysis and ways to notate the results.

3. Digital tools for Music Analysis introduces a number of ways to analyse the data that are part of your research, for instance transcription analysis with the assistance of digital applications.

4. Time management is about the non-musical skills that all students need, and that can be critical for your success: planning your time and your workload wisely by prioritizing what you have to do each day.

5. From Research to Report is about how to structure your research documentation and write down results in conformance with the criteria (See: Manual for the Artistic Research Report’’). The result is a first outline of the content of your research report.

6. Academic writing skills are important in writing a research report. Unless research is effectively shared, it is of little value to the community. This clinic gives an introduction


to 'academic writing', which is mostly a matter of finding the appropriate language for every research project and ordering the stream of thoughts in such a way that the conclusions are inevitable.

7. Interviewing is about learning interview techniques, practicing your interview skills with in-class exercises, and be introduced to qualitative analysis in order to help put this data to practical application.

8. Presentation Skills provides you with some necessary skills for the optimal presentation of your research story, based on an evaluation of best practices from peers, and a number of TedX presentations.

9&10: The two clinics Play & Present provide the opportunity to practice your presentation skills; how to ‘play and present’ your research story for examinations and other staged presentations. You practice before an audience of peers and will receive their feedback based on the examination criteria (see ‘Manual for the AR feedback sessions and examinations’). And finally: the Codarts Research Festival is a yearly research event that illuminates the broad diversity of research executed at Codarts Rotterdam. The Festival features presentations from students, staff and guests alike, keynote speakers, a student research competition, workshops and discussions. The festival is scheduled in March and lasts 2 days.

3.3 The Artistic Research Domains

Artistic Research Domains group students with related research topics and approaches. Domains are formed at the start of the first semester and continue until your final research examination. Thus, domains serve as a supportive environment for the development of your Master’s research, and as a laboratory for your ideas. COMPOSITION | ARRANGING Coaches: Hans Koolmees, Federico Mosquera About how to make the creative process more conscious, in order to enable you as composer-designer-researcher to come closer to your own artistic ambitions. Composing today is an exciting field in which elements from the whole musical world as well as the omnipresence of music technology inform and influence the choices of every young and future composer, arranger, sound designer and theorist.


JAZZ IMPROVISATION Coach: Dick de Graaf The main theme is this domain is: ‘Beyond Borders’. This relates to research topics that broaden the artistic palette of (composing) improvisers in jazz. Examples of such topics are: Classic Meets Jazz | How to connect elements from (contemporary) composed music to

jazz improvisation. Beyond the chord-scale approach | How to develop intervallic concepts for (composing)

improvisers in jazz. Informal Conversations | interactive improvisation as a means to create a distinctive

group sound. And of course you are free to add your own topic! PERFORMANCE PRACTICE Coaches: Job ter Haar, Nicole Jordan, Federico Mosquera, Bárbara Varassi Pega Studies in musical interpretation, notation, performance style and technical skills. Research in this domain is generally centred around a certain piece of music or a specific repertoire. You will learn to perform this music according to the insights you gain during your research. Possible directions include: historically informed performance practice, contemporary performance practice, performer’s analysis, subjects related to sustainable performance, ensemble playing, the performance environment, and the factors that influence the realization of best performances. Research and discover new and exciting ways to perform the music you are passionate about! POP MUSIC Coach: Tjeerd van Zanen In this recently established domain, research topics will focus on styles and techniques encountered in different disciplines in popular music, such as songwriting, music production, vocal and instrumental performance, and recording. With their new found knowledge and skills pop students learn to broaden their view on music as a whole and as a result will have a better understanding of their own talent and their role in the music industry. WORLD MUSIC | CROSSOVER Coaches: Michalis Cholevas, Santiago Cimadevilla About modal music cultures such as Indian music, Ottoman music and Turkish folk, improvisational traditions such as Latin, and about music genres like tango and flamenco. Research how to enrich your musical vocabulary and improve your technical skills. If you wish to work in crossover subjects by assimilating the elements of different traditions, you will have the opportunity to build a strong background for future adventures.


3.3.1 Artistic Research coaches and the role of the main subject teacher

Your Artistic Research trajectory is taught and monitored by your Artistic Research coach, who is a performer-creator/researcher and as such leading by example.

Your coach teaches the Artistic Research Design Course in the first semester, organizes and moderates all domain meetings in the second, third and fourth semester and chairs and moderates the domain’s formative AR feedback sessions.

Staying in touch with your research coach is not optional, but a necessary condition for the success of your research trajectory. The working relationship with your coach is for a great part based on good communication, and you taking responsibility for your own Master education. This means: attending classes, clinics domain and meetings, actively participating, giving notice when you cannot attend a class or meeting, answering emails and phone calls in time, and sticking to deadlines.

Each coach has written a set of house rules, which will be discussed with you upon entering a specific Artistic Research domain. The rules will function as the basis for your working relationship.

Since your Artistic Research is ‘an integral part of your Master of Music education, and complementary to your main subject’ (see above) your main subject teacher will be actively included in your research trajectory by you, your coach and the AR staff. We expect you to involve your main subject teacher in the framing of your research topic in the first semester and to inform your teacher about the research progress throughout your trajectory. The AR staff will invite your main subject teacher to attend all AR feedback sessions, to ensure the quality and relevance of your topic and your artistic result. AR final examinations will be attended by a main subject teacher, who is a specially appointed delegate of your instrumental section.

3.4 Artistic Research methodology

3.4.1 Reader Artistic Research Design Course

You are invited to research a topic that is closely connected to your development as a performer and/or creator, and to integrate your findings into your artistic practice, i.e. your main subject. Starting from there, you execute your research ‘in-and-through performance and creation’, a research methodology that has the Intervention Cycle at its core (see figure below). The Intervention Cycle provides a blueprint and detailed description of all the


phases you will encounter in doing research. Applying multiple shorter cycles results in a spiraling research process, allowing you to create layers of knowledge and experience. Each Intervention Cycle will bring you closer to your goal: a new level of performance or creation that is singular and bears your unique and personal artistic signature. The reader ‘Artistic Research Design’ presents a toolbox for research in and through artistic practice and creation’ is your reference guide for the design and execution of the research. In combination with instructional videos (that are currently in process), the intended research process is presented, with a number of research methods, ways of analysing, reflecting and applying acquired knowledge to your practice.


3.4.2 Quick Start: Intervention Cycle As a Quick Start, a brief overview of the Intervention Cycle and the preparatory phase is given below.

Figure: Intervention Cycle

IDEA The trinity ‘Motivation – Research Question – Goal’ forms the start and backbone of your research journey. In this preparatory phase, you set the right course: remembering WHO


you are, WHAT you want to set out to do and WHICH GOAL you wish to achieve. The formulation of this idea will lead to your initial research topic or question. DESIGN The next phase is exploring your initial research topic or question by making a reference recording of the music that is central to your research, executing a media review, and consulting your main subject teacher. Your documentation and analysis of this information helps you to obtain a clear view on your research project and to write down your Artistic Research Proposal (ARP), in which you describe your Motivation, Research Question and Goal, your Network and Resources, and present an outline of your first Intervention Cycle with a relevant methodology. INTERVENTION CYCLE Each research project requires a number of intervention cycles. You can start by planning one cycle per semester, and add more (shorter) cycles when you need more interventions, or more information to reach your intended goal. Designing the content of an intervention cycle is a highly creative and personal enterprise. RECORD | The first step of each cycle is to create a point of reference. You make a so-called reference recording, which you use in the further course of your research for comparison and reflection on what has changed, and how. Musicians record performances of the piece or repertoire that is central to their research, composers can compile (sketches of) their work. REFLECT & ASSESS | For each reference recording you will ask feedback your teacher, experts and peers, and add your own reflection. Analysis of the feedback will give focal points for further the exact data collection in the first Intervention Cycle. DATA COLLECTION | This phase is different for each research project, because it is about ‘specific ways of collecting relevant information’. You can choose from a number of practice-based research methods that are presented in the reader. Some methods are domain specific, while others are generally valid. After the data collection, you will need to analyse the material and make conscious and explicit decisions about which findings are relevant for you, and how you want to apply them to your practice. INTERVENTION | Key to each cycle is the so-called ‘intervention’, the way in which you integrate your findings to your praxis. In doing so, you create your personal process of artistic transformation. The reader offers several (domain specific) ways to apply your findings to your praxis. In this stage of the cycle you might want to go back and forth between ‘data collection’ and ‘reflection’ with your network.


START OF THE NEXT CYCLE | After each intervention reality has changed: you have created a new way of playing a piece, new techniques, new ways of executing embellishments, a new composition or improvisation, a new crossover, or new exercises. You are now ready to make another reference recording. This is when a new cycle begins, and you will notice that you have reached a higher level of understanding. You can look back and reflect on how it was before, and compare it with where you are now. Once again, you assess and reflect upon your latest reference recording, compare it with the previous one, and check if you and others can see, hear, experience and identify what has changed. And again, your analysis of the feedback will give focal points for further steps to be taken in your research. THE RESULT At the end of your research journey you have to account for what you did, and communicate your research in such a way that it can be easily shared with a broader audience. Play & Present means that you give a lecture-recital about the artistic result of your research; you ‘Play’ the piece and orally ‘Present’ the documentation of the process that led to this result. This is backed up by your Artistic Research report, an account and documentation of your research process, your findings, reflections and conclusions. 3.4.3 Manual for the Artistic Research Report Through your Artistic Research report you make your research result and process accessible to the broader Codarts research community. Moreover, AR reports with a grade 7,5 and higher will be published on the Research Catalogue, an international database for artistic research. The publication of report and result should therefore comply with the criteria as presented in the Manual for the Artistic Research Report (See 3.9, Artistic Research course material).

3.7 Artistic Research feedback sessions and examinations In the AR curriculum a difference is made between formative feedback sessions, halfway the school year, and summative examinations, at the end of a school year. Formative feedback sessions are intended to provide you with relevant feedback from a committee of teachers. In summative examinations the committee members will assess and mark the result of your work. For both formative and summative examinations you prepare a Report, containing the documentation of your research. The Manual ‘Artistic Research feedback sessions and examinations’ informs you about the format all examinations, the assessment criteria, and the value of the marks (See 3.9, Artistic Research course material). AR|1 Feedback sessions form the conclusion of the Artistic Research Design Course in the month December of the first semester. In this formative examination you will present your Artistic Research Proposal (ARP). Your proposal, reference recording and reflections are documented and published on your domain’s online platform. Your participation in the AR|1 feedback session is a condition for being admitted to the AR|1 examination. AR|1 Examinations conclude the first Master of Music research year. You will be invited to present the results of your first intervention cycle(s) before a panel of teachers. This halfway examination has a weight of 10 study credits. AR|2 Feedback sessions, formative examinations, are organised in the month December of the third semester. Your presentation will focus on your preliminary research results, with a clear plan leading to the final Artistic Research examination. Your participation in the AR|2 feedback session is a condition for being admitted to the AR|2 examination. In the month May of the fourth semester, AR|2 Examinations conclude your research journey. In a final presentation you Play and Present the result of your methodical research and present the process and data in your Artistic Research report. This final examination has a weight of 10 study credits.

Appendices


APPENDIX 1: Artistic Research Modules

Module title* Artistic Research 1

Short description* The AR curriculum in semester 1 consists of:

Artistic Research (AR) Design Course, framing the research question and

introducing research methods, resulting in a written AR Proposal that outlines

the intended research ; one-on-one meetings; plenary clinics for hands on

learning, (preparatory) assignments, and communication with coach and

peers via google classroom.

The AR Proposal will be discussed and evaluated in a formative examination

(AR|1 feedback session) in December.

The AR curriculum in semester 2 consists of:

Monthly domain meetings and one-on-one meetings with the AR coach,

continuing the individual research trajectory in which the AR Proposal is

executed, resulting in an online AR|1 work-in-progress report; plenary clinics;

the Codarts Research Festival, and communication with coach and peers via

google classroom.

The artistic result and AR|1 work-in-progress report of the first intervention

cycle(s) are assessed during a summative (AR|1) examination in May.

Attendance* All AR events mentioned above and planned in the AR Time Table are

compulsory; students choose and attend at least 4 out of 10 clinics each

school year.

Content/ relation to

professional practice*

In doing research, students learn to ask artistic questions, related to their own

practice and artistic identity, and learn to methodically find answers to those

questions, using relevant network and resources.

It also appeals to the student’s autonomy, by developing skills like time

management, project planning and networking. Doing research will raise their

and self-awareness, by giving them a better understanding of their own talent

and how to further develop that, in order to find their role in the music world.

As such the research executed in the Master of Music forms an important

phase in the transformation from student to professional musician with an

open, inquisitive attitude.

Competencies

reference*

The ability:

- to look at one’s own artistic practice from different perspectives;

- to critically assess one’s own practice;

- to reflect on one’s own work within an international, cultural, social and

intellectual context.

Learning outcomes* The student:


- is able to design and conduct a methodical research;

- is able to make effective use of collected data and network experts

- is able to explain how the artistic result relates to the research process and

which artistic choices have been made during that process;

- is able to present before an audience the research process and (preliminary)

results, in a structured and comprehensible way;

- is able to engage in a meaningful discussion with the assessors, in proper

English.
