About this program
Monash's Bachelor of Music combines practical performance training with intellectual grounding in music theory, analysis, history and context, immersing students in high-impact learning that builds core competencies across practice and performance from the very first units. After an introduction to core music principles, students move into their chosen specialisation while still having room for mobility programs, professional development units and other areas of interest, keeping the degree from becoming too narrowly focused too early. The course positions music graduates for careers across creative practice, artistic citizenship and social justice work, reflecting a broader view of what a professional music career can look like beyond performance alone. It suits students serious about a career in music who want a genuinely specialist degree combining rigorous performance training with the theoretical and historical grounding that supports a long, adaptable career in the music industry.
