The Monash Music Research Experience
The Monash School of Music is home to a vibrant and active research culture in
In fact, many of our researchers combine interests in two (or more) of these fields. Most of our staff and postgraduates work not only on their individual research projects but on collaborative work, ranging from School-based projects to team projects (in Research Groups) with local and international colleagues.
In addition to our Academic Staff the School has three Research Staff who provide support to numerous individual and collaborative projects and undertake their own research. We also support twelve Research Associates who form part of our Research Community. They are the public face of many of our research outcomes and they also act as mentors for many of our postgraduates.
