    "summary": "**The MA Songwriting is an all-encompassing songwriting course that lets you take the lead with your learning. As London’s very first songwriting-specific postgraduate programme, this degree has always been pioneering – and continues to be so – giving you autonomy to progress your distinct areas of interest within songwriting.**\n\nAs a highly creative songwriter, you’ll explore your skills in a critical and contextual setting across this research-based, creative-focused, industry-led programme. Working in a peer community, with teaching support from some of the world’s most esteemed songwriting practitioners and academics, you’ll examine and refine your creative songwriting output, considering artistic, commercial and intellectual goals and outcomes. \n\nAs an ICMP Songwriting masters student, you’ll form part of a small but close-knit team, immediately becoming part of the strong, diverse and inclusive ICMP songwriting community. Your fellow ICMP students will become your musical collaborators and you’ll regularly engage in small-group ‘A&R-style’ feedback and critical discussion sessions as you constructively critique each other’s works in progress. \n\nYou’ll network within the music industry regularly thanks to our MA-specific extra-curricular programme of guest speakers from the worlds of songwriting and academia, plus monthly performance opportunities at our celebrated London songwriting industry event – Songwriters’ Circle. ICMP is also proud to run the exclusive UK chapter of the legendary Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) – a group with direct links to one of Nashville’s most celebrated songwriting venues, the Bluebird Cafe, meaning you’ll have the chance to attend events organised by the London chapter.\n\nAcross this popular one-year advanced course, you’ll complete modules which focus on creative exploration, technical songwriting exercises, musicology and creative voice. The insight you gain from this rigorous period of creativity and craft will help you successfully tackle the highlight of the MA Songwriting programme – a unique masters project which sees the creation of a new major songwriting repertoire work (typically a debut album). \n\nThe subject matter of your project is directed by you, and you’ll be allocated a hand-picked supervisor from either the ICMP Songwriting faculty or the wider UK songwriting community to offer regular one-to-one support and guide you on your project journey. This inspirational, highly creative and personalised module provides the structure and support you need to produce the career-defining body of work you’ve always envisioned. Not only will you embrace business skills to help you in the future – like completing grant funding applications and business plan development – but your artistic output could potentially be a substantial creative turning point in your career. \n\nAs a MA Songwriting graduate, you’ll leave ICMP with the skills, knowledge, confidence and connections required to succeed in whichever direction your songwriting takes you. You’ll graduate with a creative statement of intent – knowing what type of songwriter you want to be – as well as an impressive body of creative work to showcase as you progress your lifelong career in songwriting.
