Description:

Where music intersects with people in a community context, there is bound to be a story. The story of how music inspires, challenges, sustains, enhances and identifies with individuals and groups is at the core of study in the Master of Arts (MA) in Community Music.

Our program is designed for community leaders who are, or plan to be, engaged in creating or making music with diverse populations in schools, places of worship, private studios, seniors' homes, community centres or other venues where music making occurs. This interdisciplinary program balances theory and practice for the development of leadership skills in community music.
