Bachelor of Arts in Music

The Australian National University

The Music major gives students the opportunity to pursue high-level studies in music. The key objective of the major is to develop students' deep and sophisticated understanding of one or more of the cultural, historical, theoretical, and analytical situation of music across a variety of cultures and historical periods. Students may also choose a focus on music education or music technology. The Music major allows sufficient specialisation for students to focus on a particular area – for instance musicology, ethnomusicology, theory and analysis – and gain a robust preparation for Honours and further research in that area.Learning Outcomesunderstand the languages, forms, materials, and techniques of a wide range of musicsrecognise and reflect critically on social, cultural and ethical issues, and apply local and, international perspectives to practice in musicdevelop and evaluate musical, cultural, and artistic ideas, concepts and processes by thinking creatively, critically and reflectively, and through engaging with scholarship and research
