Projects

Understanding the Transition from School to University in Music and Related Subjects

This project, based at the University of Huddersfield, stemmed from a need to improve understanding of the transition from school to university music and other related subjects.  Students now come from a wide range of backgrounds and university staff need to understand these more comprehensively in order to manage transition more effectively.
