DkIT’s postgraduate programmes in Music Performance and Musicology are designed for graduates who are seeking to develop their performance and compositional capabilities and/ or document and develop their specialised knowledge of specific areas of music in Ireland and in Europe. This provides the opportunity for established performers and researchers to formalise and focus their existing expertise within a structure which will place the work in an academic and international context. Regular consultation with and feedback from tutors and mentors, and contact with affiliated professionals in appropriate fields provide the student with a challenging environment within which to critically affirm his/her ability. Application for these programmes is welcomed from students outside Ireland.

This taught, 3-semester programme is rooted in Irish Traditional music, analysing extant song and music forms and contexts, but explores outwards into the neighbouring traditions which have impacted on Irish music, clarifying linkages, overlaps and borrowing. It is performance- and presentation-based, with all material explored via personal solo and group music interpretation. While instrumentalists, singers and dancers will gain greatly from it, it is nevertheless constructed in such a way as to permit equal involvement of the aficionado, listener or consumer, in production, presentation and management. Course materials for this programme include critical and analytical texts, and video and audio recordings in Folk/Traditional music studies and Ethnomusicology.
