Location of The University of Edinburgh
The increasing importance of historically-informed performance relies on knowledge of the development of instruments and their capabilities. This programme introduces the study of keyboard and non-keyboard instruments and draws on the resources of the unique facilities of the Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Instruments (EUCHMI), including the Russell and Mirrey keyboard collections. The professional staff of the Collection teach the course, which includes aspects of design, social background, historical usage, and repertoire. This programme develops skills in the critical study of musical instruments, and familiarises students with the examination of historic instruments, and with the evaluation of documentary information sources.
Contents
Weekly two-hour tutorials will be held in the Historic Musical Instrument Collection galleries. In each semester students write a research paper of about 3,000 words in length. Following the second semester, students will carry out original research in organology and write a dissertation.
