Why choose music?
There are different ways to include music in your studies. You can audition to enrol in the Bachelor of Music, or if you’re studying another course, such as a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, you can still include non-practical music units as a major, minor or elective. There’s also an opportunity to join a range of small and large ensembles, some of which require an audition.
The major or minor in music within the Bachelor of Arts is available to students who have no previous music experience. A major or minor in music allows you to develop the necessary critical, analytical and interpretive skills to investigate various areas of music.
