Additional information
Our music sequence develops your knowledge and skills in music language, analysis and musicianship. You’ll be supported to become a professional musician as you learn to apply the knowledge and skills required to perform, create, manipulate, interpret and critique music in safe and culturally appropriate ways, and in ways that align with the competency norms of Australia's creative industries. Gain a generalist music education that either directly facilitates a professional musician outcome or creates a pathway to professional roles including classroom teaching or music therapy.
A music sequence does not require an audition for entry at ACU.
