Bachelor of Music - Performance Major

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Music focuses on the study of jazz and contemporary popular music, responds to the current demands of the industry and combines a high degree of professionalism along with the academic rigour required for further education at the graduate level. The opportunity to study with internationally renowned professionals while following a challenging academic curriculum will give you the skills, insights, competency and credentials to pursue a career as a performer, creator and leader in the evolving music industry.

All Bachelor of Music students share a common curriculum in the first year that focuses on individual study (voice, piano, guitar, bass, drums, winds, brass or violin), performance ensemble, theory (jazz and traditional), aural skills, and musicology. After successful completion of the first year, students pursue a major route (specialized program of study).

In the Performance major, students will specialize in their principal instrument and develop repertoire, techniques and styles through independent practice, weekly private lessons, master classes, ensemble rehearsals and public performances. Areas of specialization within the Performance major are: bass (upright/electric); drum set/percussion; guitar (electric); piano/keyboards; voice; winds/brass and violin/fiddle. The program of study also includes core Bachelor of Music courses in theory, aural skills, cultural studies of music, music technology and the business of music.
