Music Timetable

Hi, I was wondering if someone could post a sample of their timetable for Durham for Music?

Kind regards,

Lee

Here are some links you might find useful.

With the second one you enter the department you want and then choose a module and then Add Module. All the 1st year music modules begin with the number 1 , 2nd year with the number 2 etc - although you could probabbly have worked that out for yourself. :smile:

You can do this as many times as you want ie multiple modules. I think an X is a lecture and an S is a seminar - there may be lots of seminars programmed for a module but you will only go to one of them with the rest of your seminar group. I don't know if this is the final timetable yet - my guess is probably not - but it will give you an indication of what to expect.

Hope that helps.

Can I just giggle and say that a Music student's timetable is often very sparse in comparison to other students.

I remember in his second year my boyfriend's weekend started on a Tuesday afternoon.

I can tell you what I had this year (just finished first year music).

Monday: 12 noon - Analysis & Perception (1hr)
Tuesday: 9am - Issues & Methods in Musicology (1hr)
2:30pm - Aural Skills & Performance (1hr)
3:30pm - Contemporary Music (2hrs)
Wednesday: 9am - Musical Techniques (1hr)

You will also have a seminar for Readings in Musicology (this changes according to your seminar group). There are also a couple of tutorials a term for each lecture so they're arranged during the term.

I did indeed get hated by many of my friends this year for having a 'sparse' timetable, but you do have to do a reasonable amount of reading to prepare for some of the lectures/analysis stuff/techniques stuff so the time does end up filled in, especially when you have summatives to do. Also it gives you a chance to do lots of other music stuff in college/uni.
