York - Birmingham Contemporary Music Group - Identifying, systematising, executing, and communicating core skills in contemporary music performance

新的音乐表演培训目前是一家“闭门店”。它培养出能力很强的表演者，但没有经济能力的学生被排除在外，而且对学术调查基本上仍然不透明。该项目将通过编制和评估一本讲授核心技能并允许对其相互作用进行学术研究的练习册，开放获得此类培训的途径。CDA允许这个项目利用主要表演者在现实世界中的专业知识-因此不同于像Hindemith这样的早期教育者沉着、自上而下的方法。其成果将既是实际使用的工具，也是了解核心技能是如何获得和使用的手段。

New music performance training is currently a 'closed shop'. It produces highly capable performers but excludes students without means, and remains largely opaque to academic enquiry. This project will open access to such training by constructing and evaluating a workbook that will teach core skills and allow academic study of their interaction. The CDA allows this project to draw on the real-world expertise of leading performers-thus differing from the composerly, top-down approach of earlier educators like Hindemith. The outcome will be both a tool for practical use and a means for understanding how core skills are acquired and used.
