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个'封闭的商店'。它培养出了非常有能力的表演者，但却排斥了没有经济能力的学生，而且对学术研究来说，它在很大程度上是不透明的。该项目将通过编制和评估一本传授核心技能并允许对它们的相互作用进行学术研究的工作手册，开放获得这种培训的机会。CDA允许这个项目借鉴领先的表演者的真实世界的专业知识，因此不同于作曲，自上而下的方法，早期的教育家像兴德米特。其结果将既是一个实际使用的工具，也是了解如何获得和使用核心技能的手段。

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.
