Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Music degree equips students for professional careers in classical music performance or music education. Admission and continuation in the program require meeting demanding academic and artistic criteria. Most performance track graduates pursue higher music degrees or equivalent postgraduate training, while music education students work toward teaching certifications. Performance concentrations emphasize practical experience through professional auditions, competitions, community engagement, and ensemble participation. The music education track similarly prioritizes hands-on preparation, including classroom observations and gaining teaching experience through paid or volunteer opportunities in educational settings.
