DescriptionWhether your interests are in performing, studying music in culture or teaching music, the Bachelor of Music (BMus) will prepare you for a compelling future. Gain a solid grounding in the study of a wide variety of musical instruments and traditions while developing a strong background in performance, composition and analysis. Develop strong critical-thinking skills through the exploration of intellectual and applied perspectives such as community music practice, ethnomusicology, Canadian music studies, improvisation studies, disability studies, Indigenous studies, critical theory and historical musicology. Practicum placements are available at various arts, education and media organizations. Our ensembles include choir, chamber music, guitar, roots, jazz, jazz-rock fusion, music theatre, opera, West African drumming, the Carleton-Ottawa Symphony Orchestra chamber ensemble and more. Admission to the BMus program requires the submission of a Creative Practice Portfolio that best showcases your work. Whether you are a classical or jazz musician, a singer-songwriter, a traditional fiddler, bagpiper, heavy metal guitarist, a DJ/ turntablist/beat producer, computer musician, sound artist, or composer, we welcome your application.
