Creative and Professional Practice Major

Add Creative and Professional Practice to my interest list
Offered By ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

All students in the BMus degree take core courses in the basic language of music: theory and analysis, aural, improvisation and composition. Students who wish to make a focus of these areas can specialise in composition and/or improvisation, through taking extension and advanced courses in these areas. Alongside these creative practice courses, students can also take courses that develop their theoretical understanding of areas such as music education, music technology, music policy and advocacy, and have the opportunity to apply this theoretical understanding in practice.
