Summary

Music studies – sometimes called musicology – is the academic analysis of a range of musical fields, including music production, singing, performance, screen music, music studies, songwriting, and Indigenous and world music.

The Music studies major combines practical and theoretical components, and provides the opportunity to specialise in particular musical interests. It offers a comprehensive coverage of diverse 20th?and 21st century music concepts, practices, technologies and industries. You’ll develop practical and critical skills in musical practices, theories and technologies; learn key communication methods in music and media contexts to enhance your employability; and learn to adapt to changing practices and technologies through real-world experiences.
