Program details
Overview
This programme leads to a Bachelor of Arts in Music at the University of Guelph, offered through the School of Fine Art and Music. Students choose between two areas of emphasis: Research-Creation, covering creative industries, music technology and composition, and Performing Professional, covering performance, musicianship and theory. Coursework spans musical styles from classical and jazz to pop, rock, turntablism, choral and musical theatre traditions. Students receive one-to-one instruction from faculty and visiting musicians, take part in masterclasses, and gain performance experience through instrumental and choral ensembles. The Honours major requires 20.00 credits, completed over the standard eight-semester, four-year full-time course of study used across University of Guelph Bachelor of Arts programmes. Graduates develop foundational musicianship skills including sight-singing, dictation, conducting, keyboard and improvisation, alongside a contextual understanding of music history and current issues in the field, and are prepared for careers in performance, composition, music technology, arts administration and related creative industries.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Arts admits Ontario secondary-school applicants who present English (ENG4U) plus five additional Grade 12 4U or 4M courses, six 4U/M courses in total. This requirement covers the Bachelor of Arts General and every B.A. major other than Economics and Quantitative Economics and Finance, including Anthropology, Art History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science and Psychology. The admission average is calculated from these six courses under the current Ontario Secondary School Curriculum; if two completed courses are judged equivalent (for example, legacy OAC English alongside 4U English), only one counts toward the average, and the non-academic component of 4U/M co-op courses is excluded entirely. Applicants intending Anthropology, Political Science, Psychology or another Social Science major are additionally encouraged, though not required, to complete a 4U Mathematics course among their five additional courses.
