General Information Go to top of document
Administrative Assistant Natalie Fedj 905-688-5550, extension 3817 Thistle 149B brocku.ca/music The goal of the Department of Music, part of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, is to prepare students for their chosen musical career and to produce critically aware musicians with a broadly based musical education. The Department of Music offers four-year programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Music (BMus) Honours, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Honours in Music, a BA with Major in Music and a Pass BA degree program. Students may also pursue a combined major or a minor in Music. The co-curricular Music Ed Plus program creates experiential learning opportunities and expanded community engagement through volunteer work, performance possibilities, and chamber music ensembles; students attend Career Services workshops, concerts and guest lectures, and can be involved in a mentorship program. BMus and BA Honours students may earn a Concentration in Music Education or Music History and Theory. BMus students may declare a Concentration in Music Performance following a successful audition. All concentrations are satisfied by successfully completing designated courses in addition to general program requirements. Students take core courses in music history, theory, general musicianship and choral ensemble. Students in the BMus program must take lessons in one of the following areas: piano, pipe organ, voice, classical guitar, harp, flute, oboe, clarinet, classical saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, percussion, violin, viola, cello and double bass. If lessons are not taken in successive years, students must re-audition before proceeding to the next year of applied music. Student progress will be evaluated annually. Students must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in all MUSI courses and a minimum of 70 percent major average to continue in the BMus program. Any student who does not meet these requirements will be placed in the BA with Major program. To re-declare to BMus a student must upgrade any MUSI course in which the minimum of 60 was not achieved and raise their major average to 70 percent. Otherwise students may continue in the BA with Major program. The requirement for graduation with a BMus or BA (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirement for graduation with a BA with Major is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.
