Music Course Overview
A degree in music aims to serve as professional training for those seeking a career in the music industry.
There are a few types of music degrees. The two most popular are Western (of classical) music and contemporary (or popular) music. While the first type emphasises performance of one or more instruments, the second type emphasises music production and arrangement. You can expect to participate in a range of ensembles and group activities such as orchestras, opera, choirs, bands and workshops. While the course covers a broad base of study, from history to the use of information technology in music, you will also be able to specialise in particular areas, such as performance, composition etc.
