BACHELOR of MUSIC

DEGREE

In the Bachelor of Music, you gain the skills, insights, credentials and connections you need to pursue a career as a professional musician, performer, creator and leader in the music industry.

This hands-on experience is enhanced by studies in performance, theory, composition, musicology, career management, recording and production, digital audio technology, and research.

You have the option to exit the program with a diploma after the completion of the first two years in any route.

Core requirements

All Bachelor of Music students take the same coursework in their first year. These core courses offer individual instruction in voice or instrument, music theory, improvisation, ear training and musicology. Performance ensemble experience is also an important part of your first year.

Majors

You declare a major (and minor concentration, where applicable) near the successful completion of your year-one core courses. The major you choose determines the courses you take in years two through four. The general major has additional routes that can include the declaration of a minor or a more customized program of study.

Music options and electives

Your major includes a number of music options and non-music electives. For details on how to choose your options and electives, see your major requirements in the MacEwan University Academic Calendar.
