What does it mean to be 'versatile'? An emphasis on versatility, creativity and innovation has become integral to discussions about the future of music and the arts, but our understanding of these concepts remains elusive. This course will explore the meaning of creativity and versatility as it applies to music, using the lens of various academic disciplines and cultural perspectives. Students will practice their professional writing and speaking skills as they research and write about an aspect of their musicianship in depth and deliver a range of speeches in a public setting. This course is useful for advanced non-native speakers of English, as well as students interested in developing professional skills in an intercultural environment. |
