Be a creative musician well-versed in a repertoire of performance, composition and new music technologies.

This programme has been developed in response to the demands of a growing creative music industry in Singapore and Southeast Asia for graduates with an enhanced ability, knowledge and diversity of experience in the area of performance, composition and new music technologies.

The BA(Hons) Music Programme offers five specialist areas of practice including Classical Performance, Jazz Performance, Popular Music Performance, Composition and Arranging, and Electronic Music. Depending on your specialisation, you will focus on essential technical skills and repertoire specific to your specialisation through weekly lessons on theory and history, one-to-one coaching on composition, and regular performances.

Moreover, there is an emphasis on research throughout the programme, preparing you to be an academically-rigorous and articulate musician. Opportunities also abound for you to collaborate with peers within the five specialisms and across disciplines.

In keeping with the latest industry demands, graduates from the School of Contemporary Music embrace technology as an integral part of their performance and compositional practice. Some of the distinctive features of our programme include the teaching of recording and producing techniques to all students, a pioneering improvisation programme for our Classical Performance stream, and a focus on developing you to be an independent learner and creative musician, ready to enter postgraduate studies or become a leader in the music industry.

Learning methods: Attend lectures, seminars, practical presentations, class participation, rehearsals, journals and master classes.
