 Music and Music Education

Description

The study of Music at UNSW enables students to develop their musicianship and musical skills for professional work in areas as diverse as performance, private teaching, broadcasting, recording, arts administration, concert planning, music and general arts journalism, arranging and composition.

Students undertake core studies in musicology, musicianship and performance, music history, style, musical perception and analysis, music in its cultural contexts, as well as studies in musical technology, jazz studies and composition. At the same time, students have enough flexibility in their program to enable them to combine music studies with substantial work in a related discipline such as theatre, film, languages, English literature and language, history, or philosophy.

Music Education is also offered at UNSW. This program is designed to enable students to secure a professional teaching qualification, in addition to developing their competence in music.
