Learners will examine and assess connections between music and other domains on both practical and abstract levels, thereby developing a multidisciplinary awareness and building an understanding of collaborative practices with stakeholders across disciplines. They will extrapolate these connections to the wider world around them and gain a more multifaceted understanding of the role of music.
