Dalhousie University offers a Bachelor of Music for a duration of 4 years.
It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis.
The Bachelor of Music program focuses on music studies to prepare graduates for careers or further study in many areas, including performance, composition, theory, musicology, and more.
Upon successful completion of the second year, students in good standing (minimum overall average GPA of 2.7 [B-] in music courses) may continue with studies in the BMus general degree or may apply for 1 of 3 concentrations:
- Composition
- Musicology
- Performance, or Popular Musics
Students wishing to pursue one of the four concentrations must apply by March 1 of the second year of study.
Students intending to pursue a concentration in the composition may take the course i.e. Introduction to Composition in the fall semester of their second year.
Students taking this option will defer their 3 credit hours Arts and Social Sciences or Sciences elective to another year.
In the third and fourth years, students will prepare for advanced degrees in music, including the BEd, as well as for a wide range of careers in music.
Students who are interested in pursuing a career in classroom teaching of music must complete an undergraduate degree in Music and then complete a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree at another institution.
After completion of a BMus in Composition, students may choose to pursue graduate studies in the same field or to work as freelance composers.
Academic excellence and achievement in music performance can be rewarded through University scholarships (based on GPA rankings), Fountain School awards, and also through scholarships and awards specific to students in Music degree programs.
Job opportunities after Bachelor of Music are Musicians and Singers, Music directors/conductors, etc and the average salary goes up to 44,000 USD.
