About the course

The Bachelor of Music (BMus) program in Composition offers training and experience to support the development of your personal style. It offers preparation for continued study and entry into the professional music world. Our faculty includes award-winning composers, representing a diversity of styles. Students may study a variety of topics in class and privately: traditional and electronic composition, orchestration and arranging, analyses of counterpoint, style and history. Successful composers undergo training in all aspects of the music process, studying not only music theory and composition, but also music history and training in an instrument or voice. As a result, composers can follow a wide variety of possible career paths, often combining composition with some other aspect of music making. The combination will be unique to each individual, but all build on that innate desire to create music. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
