Music: Creative Practice as Research

Research Methods

What is Creative Practice as Research?

Creative practice as research, ​also called practice-based research, is where a specific research question is explored via creative practice processes and/or via the product of a creative endeavour. It is commonly employed in art and design creative practice projects.

Students undertaking a creative practice research project will likely need to search both academic and non-academic resources in order to provide evidence to support their project.
