FACULTY OF MUSIC


BACHELOR OF ARTS (MUSIC) and BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONORS MUSIC)

These programs are intended to give a general background in music without a professional orientation. Both programs offer more flexibility than Bachelor of Music programs, including the possibility of electing 50% of the courses from areas other than Music.

Admission Requirements

Six approved OAC credits, including OAC1 English, one of which may be OAC Music or equivalent Conservatory certificates. (Grade IX vocal or instrumental with Grade III Theory.)

Recommendation of the Faculty on the basis of an interview (evidence of ability to manage the curriculum, usually manifest in at least Grade VI performing ability; an audition may be required). The Faculty contacts each applicant regarding specific requirements and dates. Conservatory certificates are not required.

Piano proficiency at the Grade VI level is strongly recommended before entrance. See Music 014 in the UNDERGRADUATE COURSE INFORMATION section.
