The Bachelor of Music – Major in Audio

The structure of Audio and Composition & Music Production Majors is similar with the exception of Major Study units. Students who want to focus on technical production skills should choose the Audio Major, and those who want skills to realise their musical ideas should choose the Composition & Music Production Major. Associate study options enable all production students to either specialise or broaden their study program.

Major Studies – AUDIO.

All classes have very small student-lecturer ratio, delivered weekly through lecture & practical demonstration. 

• Recording Technology (hands-on supervised instruction in a professional studio).
• Audio Technology (comprehensive study of theoretical principles of audio engineering)
• Digital Technology (hands-on audio workstation production theory and practice)

Audio Majors may choose Music Production as an associate study

Foundation and Critical Studies

Students initially undertake a suite of academic units comprising Foundation Studies in theory, history and aural training. With the foundations in place, students then undertake Critical Studies, each providing an in-depth study of a major musical period or genre.

Performance Studies & Ensemble

Students have the opportunity to study an instrument of their choice (including voice, DJ and laptop) with a weekly individual lesson. They also develop their performance and collaborative skills as part of a suitable group/ensemble each week.

Associated Studies

Students take associate studies each week from a wide range of performance, production, management, media and technology units to either concentrate or broaden their music education.
