COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Music (BMus) program at Mount Allison University offers students four years of intensive musical training, combining weekly private lessons on a chosen instrument or voice with rigorous academic studies in both music and non-music subjects. The program covers a wide range of areas, including composition, conducting, collaborative piano, chamber music, jazz, opera, and world music, providing students with a broad and versatile musical education. Unlike programs that stream students into specific concentrations, the BMus at Mount Allison allows students the flexibility to tailor their studies to their individual interests and career goals, emphasizing performance, music education, composition, music history, or music theory as desired. This adaptability ensures that students can develop a personalized program that supports their artistic growth while building a solid foundation in essential musical skills. The BMus degree prepares graduates for a variety of professional paths in music, including performance, teaching, musicology, music therapy, arts administration, recording, broadcasting, music librarianship, and music journalism. By combining practical performance experience with theoretical and historical knowledge, the program equips students with the technical expertise, creative insight, and professional competencies required to succeed in the diverse and dynamic field of music.
