Collaboration may include musicians from diverse communities in relation to the UN cultural diversity mandate. Activities such as performance, composition, arranging, sound engineering, music administration and other industry-related work will occur in integrated learning contexts and/or placement opportunities that have practical creative or project management outcomes. This subject provides training in music business and personal branding towards creating visibility of cultures and personal creative identity, and it allows students to work as individuals or in groups to build on skills and knowledge developed through their degree.
