Music: Community Music BA (Hons)

at York St John University

Develop your understanding of the role of the professional community musician: theoretically, practically and contextually.Through this degree, you will engage with and position community music as a vibrant and exciting contemporary field. You will work within an institution that houses the International Centre for Community Music (ICCM). In parallel with workshops, seminars and lectures, you will undertake ongoing work-based learning in community music settings, with one of our local placement partners. These are designed to develop an experiential understanding of the key concepts and skills of workshop practice, within contexts such as schools, care homes, homeless shelters, arts organisations, and the criminal justice system.
