The MMus coursework program involves the successful completion of six session-length courses. Courses can be taken in any combination of options. There is a wide range of topics to cater to most musical vocations. Also, these options can be tailored to meet the special needs of musicians teaching in secondary schools or who are involved in the organisation and direction of musical practice and performance in schools or the community.
