Postgraduate Studies: Musicology.

Hello world.
Today's post is about Postgraduate Studies. Personally I haven't planned to take any postgraduate studies yet. Anyway, if I were to choose any I would pick one regarding music. I have been thinking about taking a course about musicology, because I consider that music is something that influences our life in numerous ways, even if we don't realice. Also, I think it's really interesting to blend together music and psychology (my current career), because it could help understand how music works in our subjectivity and further develop some therapies based on music. In fact, music therapy is a growing area of alternative non-medical therapies and it interest me a lot.

The subjects that interests me more of Musicology are "Music Anthropology", "Popular Music" and "Musical Cognition", this last one with a strong link to Psychology. I would like to study in Argentina, because I like their educational system and it's not so far away from Chile. Another option would be to study in Chile, but the problem is that education is too expensive here, and arts are really underrated. I would prefer a blended system, because it has the best of both worlds: Classroom relations and autonomous learning.

Anyway, one of the problems I would face if I were to study Musicology is the requirements, because I don't have any "official" background in music, so that's a thing, but I think I could sort it out. Another problem is the money, that's why I would rater study in Argentina than in Chile. Also I would have to work and find a place to stay there, but that's part of the fun.
