  • Program Outline

    The Master of Music (Performance Studies) is a skill-based course focusing on traditional approaches to classical or jazz performance in addition to the study of works by leading composers of the twentieth century and recent times. Students can develop solo as well as ensemble performance skills. The flexible program can reflect the different demands of the profession and the musical communities in which the student may be employed. Staff who coordinate and teach the courses are experienced international performers and, in many instances, are familiar with the professional communities overseas.

  • Program Structure

    Over two years, students take 24 units in the major performance area of specialisation and 24 units of electives. Electives are selected from a range including minor recitals, Negotiated Projects, Professional Projects, and advanced music ensemble work.

    Options are built into the curriculum, so that entry and exits via lower level Postgraduate programs are possible. Students can exit after two semesters with a Graduate Diploma in Music (Performance). Those students with more advanced skills and experience in performance can be given status in 24 units, enter the second year of the program and undertake the remaining 24 units in one year of study on campus.
