Abstract

The implementation of artistic research in music within higher education should act as a catalyst for shaping the kind of artist that students aspire to become—beyond curricular and institutional constraints. The author highlights the importance of addressing the complex task of defining the paradigm of artistic research, offering a clear and didactic outline of its components, methodology, and practical applications. Drawing on extensive experience in evaluating such projects—often transgressive in relation to the hegemony of traditional musicology—this work, the result of years of research and evaluative practice, provides concrete guidelines and a specific roadmap for conducting this kind of inquiry. It also includes a detailed analysis of various proposals that have emerged as significant contributions to the field. As a pioneering contribution to artistic research applied to music, the book helps articulate a generic model that can serve as a guide for future researchers and evaluators in higher music education.
