First PhD in music performance
The University of Adelaide's Elder Conservatorium of Music in 2005 was the first Australian institution to offer a PhD specialising in music performance. Jazz musician Chris Martin is the program's first graduate.
Dr Martin (pictured left), who lectures part-time at the Elder Conservatorium, completed his Bachelor of Music (Honours) in 2002.
His three-year PhD project involved studying and applying techniques from classical music to jazz improvisation, and included the recording of four CDs with a mix of original composition and re-interpretations of other composers.
Elder Conservatorium Director Professor David Lockett said Dr Martin's PhD was "the latest in a series of impressive practical and intellectual achievements". |
