In addition to my Dean of School leadership duties at Bath Spa, I teach on the Commercial Music degree programme and Masters in Songwriting, and am also the organiser of the annual UK Songwriting Festival. My research/teaching specialisms include the psychology of songwriting (particularly collaborative songwriting), popular musicology, music journalism, forensic musicology and song copyright

Many works authored by myself (Philip Tagg), or by my students, or co-authored by myself and another, and which appear anywhere on this site, are posted under a Creative Commons License. The whole idea is to make as much information and as many ideas as possible available to as many as possible of those involved in education and research without them having to pay for it.
