Overview

Bachelor of Music - Performance

As a Griffith Bachelor of Music graduate, you will be highly skilled, musically adaptable and equipped to enter professional life as a creative and flexible twenty-first-century musician. 

Your educational experience will include exposure to diverse musical styles and idioms, including classical, contemporary, jazz, popular, electronic, experimental and world music. 

You will also learn the broadly accepted musical skills of aural awareness training, music theory, critical listening, contemporary music-making practices, music literature and collaborative work appropriate to your field of study.

If you wish to study music education, you will enter a teaching preparation strand in your second year. 

After completing your undergraduate studies, you will graduate with a Bachelor of Music and be eligible to apply for a graduate entry teacher preparation program.

Performance Studies has one level of engagement throughout the three-year program:

In addition, students are eligible for the year­-long elective Performance Study Extension course (10 credit points - 5 credit points in Tri 1 and 5 credit points in Tri 2), which is available in Year 2 and/or Year 3. 

Eligibility for the Performance Study Extension course for Performance students is described in the prerequisites for enrolling.
