| Music programs at Northwestern Polytechnic will help prepare students to pursue a career in music or to continue their studies at other educational institutions. Students will have the opportunity to specialize on an instrument, including voice, and to perform with talented musicians. Participation in Northwestern Polytechnic Ensembles is required of our programs, and performances in community productions or events is also encouraged. Music students have access to our Fine Arts Recording Studio complex that consists of four individual studios, a digital lab/classroom with many modern workstations, and numerous well-equipped practice rooms. Music performances take place in the Collins Recital Hall, the Douglas J. Cardinal Performing Arts Centre or off campus. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
