| Our three-year Music program provides an excellent foundation for students who wish to explore music as a career by developing the fundamentals of performance, theory, and musicianship. We offer courses in performance, music theory, music history, popular music, sociology of music, Indigenous music, world music, audio arts, conducting, elementary school music, and music business. We also provide an extensive variety of jazz-based courses. Our ensembles, the Algoma University Choir, Jazz Ensemble, and Music Theatre Ensemble, are very active within the local community, and give students ample opportunity to perform. Development of reliable performance skill is nurtured through weekly performance classes. |
