Our four-year Bachelor of Music will prepare you for a career or advanced study in performance, composition, or musicology. In the first two years of study, you'll focus in on foundational skills in theory, musicianship, and history, while developing your applied skills in one-on-one applied lessons and ensembles tailored to your skills and interests. 

In third and fourth year, your studies can become more focused, depending on your goals. Students looking for a broad musical education can continue with the BMus general degree. Those who wish may also apply for one of three concentrations: Composition, Musicology, or Performance. Your applied instructor and the Academic Advisor for Music will help you make this decision, and will prepare you for the application/audition process.
