Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music, offered by Concordia's Department of Music in the Faculty of Fine Arts, gives students flexibility to pursue composition, songwriting, performance, production, management or music therapy. Students can follow a Specialization in Music Composition and Production (66 credits), a Specialization in Music Performance (66 credits), a broader Major in Music (54 credits) for maximum flexibility, or a Minor (24 credits, closed to new applicants). Full-time study takes a minimum of three to four years (90-120 credits), with classes held on the Sir George Williams campus and admission only in the Fall term. Applicants complete an online basic theory screening test, submit musical background information and a video audition or creative portfolio, and take online theory and ear-training placement tests; an instrumental audition is optional for Major applicants but required for Private Study courses. The program suits students pursuing a career in music performance, composition, production or education.
