Concentrations include brass, composition, guitar, percussion, piano, strings, voice and woodwinds. The BA supports minors, BA & BSc double majors, a Dhillon School of Business option, cooperative education and international exchanges.
Career Outcomes: Graduates work as musicians, composers, conductors, music directors, arrangers, editors/publishers and teachers. They can also move into music production, audio engineering or arts administration, or continue to MFA, PhD study.
Whether you are interested in performance, composition, digital audio arts or music education, our classical music programs are flexible to meet your specific needs and goals.
Pursue your passion for music while exploring diverse courses. If you are interested in music and another subject area, a BA (Music) allows you to explore your interests in the sciences, social sciences and humanities, while still focusing on music.
Through our classical music programs, you can choose a performance route and receive one-on-one instruction from master performer-teachers. Entrance to studio courses is dependent on a successful audition.
You'll attend guest artist classes and have multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. Recitals showcase your development and accomplishments as a musician, and your experience is enhanced by participation in ensembles.
