Bachelor of Arts in Music (Honours) - Music in a Global Context

University of Waterloo

Take your singing, constant drumming, dreams of concert halls, or any other way you express yourself musically and study in a program that offers flexibility to follow your passions. You’ll have access to instruction in more than 20 instruments. Balance your study of performance, music theory, and music history with classes on the relationship between music and technology, gender, and peace. Unpack the psychology of music, or put your analytical skills to use and dissect pop, jazz, opera, film scores, and more. You can even orchestrate some paid work experience before graduation by choosing co-op. Or apply for several entrance scholarships, available only for applicants who intend to do a Music major. Whether you’re aiming to be a performer, composer, teacher, recording technician, or music software developer, you’ll gain the background needed to turn your love of music into a career.
