In the Faculty of Arts and Science, Music is approached as one of the liberal arts and taught as cultural history. This humanistic emphasis aims at a high degree of correlation with other disciplines such as Fine Art, Cultural Anthropology, Languages and Literatures, History, and Philosophy. The courses with the prefix MUS are open to any student of the University. Even students with a strong music background should find them stimulating explorations of the world of music. Students wishing to enter the Specialist /Major Program should examine
the courses listed under HMU History of Music and TMU Theory of Music.
First-year specialist/major courses are available to a small number
of students, who are admitted to them by audition and interview during Registration
week. Those interested in ethnomusicology and the study of world music
may audition on the basis of their comparable accomplishments in a
non-Western
instrumental or vocal performing tradition. All students are required
to have completed Grade 2 Rudiments and Grade 3 Harmony from the RCM
or acceptable
equivalents as prerequisites, prior to the audition-interview. Knowledge
of Western music history and theory ensures that students are not disadvantaged
when facing the curricular requirements of the program. In this program
the humanistic and historical approach is supported by courses in music
theory which provide craft and analytical tools. The Specialist Program
provides excellent preparation for a variety of professional
activities including music criticism, library science, positions in the
publishing, broadcasting, and recording industries, as well as for graduate
studies in musicology and ethnomusicology leading to careers in university
teaching. The program leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (honours).
For programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music, the student should
consult the Calendar of the Faculty of Music. Faculty of Music Representative: Professor J.
