Bachelor of Music / Bachelor of Science Conjoint - Creative Practice: Classical

The University of Auckland

The diversity of major options available in both Music and Science is a strength of the BMus/BSc conjoint. You’ll be able to pursue both of your areas of interest and structure a degree that’s unique to you. Pushing scientific boundaries requires creative and independent thinking – both of which are fostered by your musical studies – while the discipline and practice of music complements the acute focus necessary for successful scientific research. Understanding data is important for success in the workplace knowing how to process and display data in ways accessible to a varied audience will be key to taking advantage of the emerging career opportunities in today’s data-driven work landscape. The BMus/BSc conjoint offers, for example, the rigour and repetition required for experimentation in the chemical or physical sciences and the analysis of environment that’s a feature in Psychology and Musicology. This kind of duality presents the ideal context for you to become a disrupter by encouraging ideation, agile thinking and collaboration – qualities sought after by employers.The Creative Practice: Classical specialisation offers individual and ensemble courses for all keyboard and orchestral instruments, guitar and voice. Besides one-to-one tuition, you will be encouraged to extend your practical performance experience through participation in chamber music and a rich variety of ensembles, including brass and woodwind groups, the School’s renowned Chamber Choir, chamber and symphony orchestras and the School’s Collegium Musicum, a historical performance ensemble.
