Assuming that a university-level course is in order, there are three main options: attending a conservatoire, doing a music degree or doing a degree in another subject (arts-related or otherwise) Studying at a conservatoire If you intend to pursue a career as a performing MEMBERS OF CONSERVATOIRES UK musician, there is no doubt that attending one of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama UK’s dedicated conservatoires is a great first step.

    The Assessment of Musical Attainment: Acquiring Cultural Capital and Building Learning Power in Instrumental Music Tuition A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Education June Bonfield-Brown November 2018 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Abstract This thesis describes an action research project undertaken within a mass participation instrumental music programme situated in East London. This action research project aimed to improve the way in which instrumental music pupils are assessed through the use of the graded examination. It also intended to provide opportunities to gain social and cultural capital for children in East London that are available in more affluent areas of the United Kingdom. The action research methodology was employed over three cycles of research. The research involved six instrumental music teachers, including myself, as an active participant. Data was collected through focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic and narrative analysis. Amongst the main findings of this thesis are the following: The current graded examination is unsuitable and inaccessible to children learning to play musical instruments in a group learning context.

Holy Abyss, a collaborative project between New York guitarist Joel Harrison and Italian bassist Lorenzo Feliciati, is an antidote to angst. Flowing from a deep communion between the artists, the album turns dread on its head, offering a series of expansive soundscapes full of lustrous harmonies, searching melodies and knowing interplay. Featuring trumpeter Cuong Vu, drummer Dan Weiss and Roy Powell on piano and Hammond B3 organ, the quintet reflects jazz’s increasingly international reach. Harrison and Weiss, musical comrades for many years, are New Yorkers, while longtime collaborators Feliciati and Powell hail from Rome and Oslo via the UK, respectively. Vu, who has toured and recorded with Feliciati and Powell, was born in Vietnam and is now based in Seattle, near where he grew up. The musicians are united by a passion for modern jazz unbounded by stylistic conventions. Open to sounds from around the world, they have all created music infused with electronics, odd meters, and uncommon timbres and tonal palettes. Holy Abyss opens with Harrison’s anguished ballad “Requiem for an Unknown Soldier,” which establishes the album’s elemental sensibility with its ethereal trumpet fanfare and slow burning guitar solo.
