General Information Go to top of document
Administrative Assistant Katarina Rieger music@brocku.ca 905-688-5550, extension 3817 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 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. BMus and BA Honours students may earn a Concentration in Music Education. BMus students may declare a Concentration in Music Performance following a successful audition. BMus students may also declare a Concentration in Choral Music, or Music Therapy Foundations. BA students may declare a Concentration in Community Music. All concentrations are satisfied by successfully completing designated courses in addition to general program requirements. Alternatively, students may earn a BMus or a BA Honours degree without declaring a concentration. Students take core courses in music in society, theory, general musicianship and choral ensemble performance. 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. Student progress will be evaluated annually. To continue in the BMus program students must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in all core MUSI courses and a minimum 70 percent major average, plus a minimum of 75% on the jury in 1-2-3F92. 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 core 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.
