Plan Outline

This plan only applies to students who commenced their degree program before 2009.

This plan is designed to develop musicianship and performing skills in association with an exploration of musicology: music history, style, musical perception and analysis, music technology, and the study of music in its cultural contexts (ethnomusicology).

Plan Structure

There are two possible major sequences.

The first possible major sequence is for students who have completed HSC Music 2 or Extension or an equivalent qualification:

Year 1

Year 2
PLUS one Option in Musicology from the list below

Year 3
Two options in Musicology or Musicianship from the list below

Performance
Performance in one of the performance ensembles offered by the School is part of each of the BA Musicianship A, B, C courses. At least 6 UOC at the 3000 level must be completed in Year 3.

The second possible major sequence for students with less formal training in music is:

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3
2 Options in Musicology or Musicianship from the list below

Performance
Performance in one of the performance ensembles offered by the School is part of each of the Music Fundamentals and BA Musicianship A, B, C courses. At least 6 UOC at the 3000 level must be completed in Year 3.

Notes

BA students who have completed HSC Music 1 or who have AMEB or equivalent grades below 7th grade performance and 5th grade musicianship are encouraged to complete MUSC1001 (Music Fundamentals). Completion of this course at a required level provides the means of proceeding to a BA with a Major in Music, and may also provide, if combined with a satisfactory audition, a means for subsequent enrolment in the BMus, the BMus BEd, or the BMus BA.

Honours

Honours level study is also available in Music. A minimum of a credit average in Music courses throughout the program is a condition of entry to Honours.

Students interested in studying at Honours level should refer to the Honours plan record for a complete list of entry requirements.
