This research project aims to present an accessible approach to concepts in post-tonal music thus helping local audiences gain a deeper understanding of musical experiences. Utilising individual case studies in the works of Schoenberg and Webern, it would be possible to distill post-tonal concepts down and utilise those messages to enrich our consideration of musical communication. The research would be synthesised as an interactive talk and concert event, allowing collaboration with local concert venues. During the event the audience would be encouraged to reconsider western musical conditionings and view music itself in a new light. Success would be measured through means of a psychological questionnaire, designed by myself under the guidance of my project supervisor. This would provide data to determine the success of my analytic method and become part of a reflective examination of the power of post-tonal music when condensed into an academic poster.
