Bachelor of Music in Community Education and Leadership

Program Overview

Become a highly skilled, adaptable and creative musician, ready to enter professional life. 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.

You'll also have opportunities to gain credit for project studies and music industry engagement and internships, so you can transition smoothly into professional life. A wide range of elective courses are also available to deepen and broaden your musical experience.

You may audition on more than one instrument or specialisation, and the program provides opportunities for development in multiple instrumental and creative specialisations. After successfully completing your undergraduate studies, you will graduate with a Bachelor of Music and be eligible to apply for a graduate entry teacher preparation program or transition to a fourth undergraduate or honours year.

Major: Community Education and Leadership
The Community Education and Leadership major provides students with the skills and frameworks to teach and lead participatory music-making in a variety of community and educational settings. You'll develop your leadership and teaching abilities and explore the practical, theoretical and ethical implications of working across social groups in schools, hospitals, prisons, cultural centres and more.
