Research

Leeds College of Music is a unique environment for music research and study. It is the only institution of its kind where there is such diversity of curriculum in terms of musical genre (Classical, Popular, Jazz and Music Production), practice (composition, performance and musicology) and the application of practice (pedagogy and community music). 

Research lies at the centre of College activities, and supports a wide range of initiatives. The College’s academic staff represent a broad range of specialisms, and have international reputations for their work as performers, composers, musicologists and educational consultants.

The College’s international reputation in the fields of performance, music technology, and composition is underpinned by the research activities of its staff. Current research specialisms of Leeds College of Music staff include electro-acoustic composition, improvisation, music pedagogy, twentieth century musicology, analysis, composition and community music.
