Overview
Music is the art or science of combining sounds and silence in order to produce a form that is satisfying and emotionally stimulating. The study of music involves the enhancement of instrumental skills, theoretical learning and understanding, history, exploration of the social and therapeutic benefits of music making and listening, conducting, composition, orchestration, psychology, education, and use of technology.
There are three mandatory skill-based modules which are taken in each semester. The remaining electives may be selected from a wide choice of modules: Community Music, Composition, Conducting, Counterpoint, Education, History, Music Technology, Music Therapy, Orchestration, Performance, and Research.
Instrumental tuition is delivered in one-to- one lessons according to best international practice. Other modules are delivered across a variety of labs, lectures, tutorials and workshops.
