In the Bachelor of Music, you'll have the opportunity to explore a musical specialisation of your choice, as well as be exposed to a range of diverse styles and idioms including classical, contemporary, jazz, popular, electronic, experimental and world music. You will undertake collaborative and ensemble work appropriate to your field of study, aural awareness training, music theory, critical listening, contemporary music-making practices, and contextual music studies.

From your second year, you'll be able to focus your efforts further, choosing from two of four majors. These include Performance, Contemporary Creative Practices, Production and Entrepreneurship, and Community Education.
