Anyone who wishes to become a professional musician should consider a music instrumental program. A degree can usually allow a student to specialize in an instrument or vocals. The student will generally study their chosen instrument in depth, as well as broader subjects including ear training, theory and composition.

Australia has a subsidized higher education for students pursuing the undergraduate degrees. They also give loan and grants for the post graduate students. Higher learning starts at undergraduate degree level to a doctoral degree offered in any field of study.
