**Why choose this course**<br/>• Our music course offers training in a huge range of styles from classical and popular, to musical theatre, film, jazz and contemporary music.<br/><br/>• You’ll be able to join inspiring ensembles and societies, from the University Orchestra, University Chamber Choir, Big Band, student ensembles and bands, as well as weekly lunchtime student concerts.<br/><br/>• As a performer, you’ll receive free one-to-one instrumental/vocal lessons in your primary study.<br/><br/>• You’ll have access to our custom-built performance and recording spaces, including a multi-purpose concert/recital room, an immersive multichannel speaker performance space, 10 practice rooms, edit rooms and brand-new synth lab.<br/><br/>• All music students benefit from visits by industry professionals, including: performers, composers, promoters, publishers and educators. <br/><br/>• Whether you’re interested in performance, composition, music history, analysis or the music industry itself, our experienced staff and vibrant musical community can help unlock your musical potential. <br/><br/>**What you will study**<br/>On our course you can take performance and composition in each year. Alongside these, you’ll study music across history and within culture. You’ll develop advanced knowledge of music theory and analysis. <br/><br/>You’ll graduate from our course with a BMus qualification, which denotes a practical emphasis – we use performing and/or composing as the key ways to increase your knowledge of music and develop your musicianship. You’ll learn about music of the past and the present, in both classical and popular styles. <br/><br/>In your final year, you’ll develop a large-scale individual project; this is a good example of the flexible approach you can take to your learning – it can be a substantial written investigation, or a performance or composition project, with complementary writing.
