| Summary: | "Postgraduate Research in Music: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing a Thesis is an essential text for music students who are undertaking postgraduate research. Unique in its approach and scope, this is a "how to" book, a practical guide whose aims are fourfold: to equip students with the skills and knowledge that are needed for postgraduate research in music; to consider all key aspects of the research process in the order in which they are encountered, from the initial stages of a research project through to completion of the thesis; to present a music-specific focus, with explanations and examples that are immediately relevant for all music research and which take into account the special characteristics of music as a discipline; and to provide a teaching framework for lecturers, bypassing the need to extrapolate information from books designed for other disciplines. Postgraduate Research in Music incorporates a number of significant features. All key concepts are illustrated with music-relevant examples, making it easier for readers to grasp the concepts being discussed. Exercises, and in some chapters class seminar topics as well, are included to reinforce the concepts that have been discussed in the chapters. Reading lists are appended at the end of most chapters, enabling students to explore topics in greater depth. And appendices provide further information, such as referencing templates and examples.
