About your BMus Popular Music Performance Degree
The BMus (Hons) Popular Music Performance degree is for students who aspire to reach the highest levels of musicianship and build a successful and sustainable career as a portfolio musician in today’s modern and diverse music industry.
This dynamic, challenging and industry-relevant course will help you develop the playing, performance, business, technical and theoretical skills needed to succeed as a career musician. Studying established genres, styles and repertoire sits at the core of the BMus degree; you’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of genre conventions by studying with your principal instrument, enabling you to work across a range of performance and creative contexts. The course includes learning activities that cover performance, music theory, music production, arranging, technique, sight-reading, and more.
While you’ll be challenged to achieve outstanding technical skills on your primary instrument, we’ll also encourage you to explore a secondary instrument that includes percussion/keyboards (for vocalists) and backing vocals/keyboards (for bassists, drummers and guitarists).
You’ll receive tuition from our world-class teaching faculty throughout this three-year degree, learning from a team of highly esteemed musicians with active careers in the music industry and higher education sector.
