Bachelor of Music (Music Composition)

About

Make music that lasts

Composition is a craft. From the music of Bach or Mozart to the films scores of Hans Zimmer, musical creations are some of humanity's greatest achievements.

Composers move, enchant and entertain. They conceive works of timeless beauty and reach audiences in ways words cannot.

Our Bachelor of Music (Music Composition) has both a strong focus on classical traditions and an acute ear of the demands of the 21^st century composer. You will:

learn a broad range of stylistic approaches for composing music
develop your compositional 'voice' through one-on-one tuition, lectures and tutorials
study the principles of musical structure, notation and text setting, melodic writing, harmonic and rhythmic invention, counterpoint, and instrumental colour and texture
consider the practical and work-related sides of creative music making
explore music aesthetics, media and technology.

We also provide opportunities for ensemble performance and collaboration in film, dance and theatre.
