Course summary
The Bachelor of Arts in Music, Education and Society is a unique 3-year programme that combines the study of musicianship, critical understanding of contextual issues, conceptual understanding of educations and social theory and practical application of these across multiple settings within education and community. Working with our strong education partners, this programme covers the spectrum of settings that a musician may work within, both nationally and globally, replicating real-world careers as music educators and community musicians. You will learn to be animateurs and music facilitators, working alongside our performance students who bring high level live music performance into the settings where you will be learning how to lead and manage.
