Music
The UWA School of Music offers professional programs in performance, composition, music education and musicology, aiming to prepare well-trained musicians for a wide range of future career possibilities.
The courses are underpinned by four principal areas of study: performance, music language, music education and music literature.
Performance tuition is provided on all orchestral instruments, piano, organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, guitar and voice. Alternatively you may wish to study selected music units as part of another degree course such as the Bachelor of Arts.
You can study Music in a specialist Music degree or as a major in the Bachelor of Arts. The School of Music auditions all students interested in applying to study music and this audition takes place immediately after the TEE exams each year. The audition is not an ordeal! We like to hear two contrasting pieces, and we give a few aural tests. Then we talk with students to see what their plans for future music study might be.
