Description:

Music scholars ask questions such as: How do music theory and performance interact? What role does music play in our society? How can my performances influence or comment on the world?



The Bachelor of Music (BMus) degree is designed for students wishing to enter a professional career in music, either as performers, teachers, composers, theorists, historians or critics. The BMus provides the opportunity for students to major in Performance, Composition, or Integrated Studies. In addition, there’s a major in Music Education that is available in the context of a concurrent BMus/Bachelor of Education degree. All degrees combine extensive instruction in music history and theory, composition, and pedagogy with performance and community involvement. You’ll graduate with creative thinking skills, research and analytical capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, as well as practical and theoretical musical training.
