Administrative Assistant Natalie Fedj 905-688-5550, extension 3817 Thistle 139 The goal of the Department of Music, part of the 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 Music and a Pass BA degree program. Students may also pursue a combined major in Music. Students take core courses in music history, theory, general musicianship and choral ensemble. Students in the BMus program must choose one principal study in applied music (instrumental or vocal lessons). If applied music is not taken in successive years, students must re-audition before proceeding to the next year of applied music. In Year-3 and Year-4, students may pursue specialized interests in theory, musicology, composition and applied music. Students may elect to write an Honours thesis. Students' progress will be evaluated annually. Students must achieve a minimum of 60 percent in all MUSI required courses and a minimum 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 required MUSI course in which the minimum average 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. |

Prospective majors must possess a level of musical literacy equivalent to Royal Conservatory Grade II rudiments as well as the necessary aural skills to complete the course requirements in Music. It is recommended that prospective majors possess a level of keyboard proficiency equivalent to Royal Conservatory Grade IV. Prospective students must arrange an audition with the Department of Music. Admission as a major will depend on the successful completion of placement tests in rudiments of theory, keyboard and aural skills. Details concerning interviews, tests and auditions may be obtained from the Administrative Assistant. Admission to the BMus program with transfer credits from other universities requires an overall average of 70 percent in music courses. An audition on a solo instrument or voice is required of all applicants to the BMus program and of all students wishing to take electives in applied music. Auditions are held in April and May of each year, in conjunction with interviews and placement tests. Late auditions may be scheduled depending on available space in the program. The recommended audition level for admission into MUSI 1F92 and the BMus program is at least Royal Conservatory Grade IX or its equivalent. Students who are not at this level may audition for MUSI 1P81. Applied music students who study with an approved nonresident instructor should be prepared to cover additional travel and instruction fees.
