Key Summary

    About: This Bachelor's degree focuses on developing skills in contemporary performance, encompassing various styles and techniques. Students engage in practical training and performance opportunities, preparing them for a career in the music industry. The program combines theory and practice to foster musicianship and creativity.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates may pursue roles such as performing musician, music teacher, or music producer. Other paths can include work in artist management, music therapy, or sound engineering. The degree equips students for diverse career opportunities in the dynamic music landscape.

Evolve your music writing, music technology and live performance skills under the tutelage of some of the best teachers and performers in the music industry. You will receive weekly one-on-one private lessons on your major instrument to improve your technical facility, musicality, and performance skills, and at the end of the major this will culminate into a large-scale major project, which could contain elements of recorded performance as well as a live recital.

Write and perform the music for an app, a game, or the soundtrack to a film - and collaborate with JMC students in other fields on industry projects while building a creative network you can rely on throughout your career. Learn about how to navigate the music business, and how to identify professional opportunities. Master multi-platform performance skills, mixing techniques and recording, produce and arrange for ensembles while expanding your knowledge of repertoire; and undertake your own specialist project that will see you performing a major gig to a live audience.
