 1. Presentation and goals

The 2^nd cycle of studies in Music at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa aims to obtain the degree of Master in Music, and is organised in four semesters, with a total of 120 credit, according to the current structure and study plan. The first two semesters (60 credits) include a teaching component and a Research Project. The final two semesters include, in addition to a teaching component, the preparation and presentation of an Artistic Project consisting of a written report and a practical component, or a Dissertation.

The main aim of this master's programme is to deepen the 1^st Cycle instruction, focusing on the training of professionals in the field of music in order to develop artistic, cultural, academic and research activities in a wide variety of contexts, fulfilling the needs of the music industry and production markets, and traditional and emerging music consumption.

In order to achieve this goal, it is intended:

• to improve creative and technical-interpretative resources;
• to deepen the knowledge and understanding of music literature;
• to develop awareness and the ability to critically reflect upon the creative and interpretative process;
• to develop the ability to structure and carry out a research project articulated with the student's musical experience and activity, reflecting a critical and informed perspective on the research topic;
• to acquire a professional level of autonomy within performance or composition that allows for the expression of one's own artistic personality.
