Assessment Description and Advice Your literature review should be approximately 1,500 words in length and should conform to the usual submission practices of all Music Department written assignments. Guidelines as to the submission of written work are available on Music Central on WOLF in the folder marked “Music Department Written Work Guidance”. Tutorials will take place on the 12th March. Students are expected to bring a draft of their literature review to their tutorials. Content Identify the key texts that you have read in your chosen topic. Discuss some of the texts in detail in terms of what they have to say about the topic. Relate the texts to each other so for example… Brown discusses the issue of authenticity from the point of view of the performer, but Jones discusses the authenticity of the product (CD). Analyse these arguments CRITICALLY – don’t just describe what’s in each text. Identify areas of research that are not particularly well served by the existing literature and use these gaps in knowledge to help to formulate your own research question.
