The Bachelor of Music is a three year degree with majors in Music Practice (Performance, Jazz Performance, Composition, and associated practice-based areas such as ensemble performance, aural skills, music pedagogy, music technology, conducting, choral studies, and non-western music performance) and Music Inquiry (critical, theoretical, analytical and inquiry-based approaches to the interpretation and understanding of classical and popular western and non-western music). Students may take a broadly-based program of study or elect to strongly specialize in one or two areas. Students may complete majors in Music Practice, Music Inquiry, or both – the minimum requirement is a completion of a major in one area and at least a minor in the other.
