Programme Structure and Curriculum

The design of the programme structure will allow the BME students to have strong training in musicianship with major studies in two areas: Contemporary Music and Performance Pedagogy. In addition, they will have basic and diverse knowledge and exposure to education theories and practices, languages and general education studies in business, art and cultures. These students will focus on studio and small group teaching settings, and will be required to assist music teachers in co-curricular music activities such as coaching instrumental players and/or instrumental class, or conducting the band, orchestra, and/or choir.

Moreover, students will be required to undertake internships in selected music professional fields such as recording companies, private music studios, arts management companies, etc. This will expose them to different types of music enterprises and industry practices.

Students will be allowed to choose between contemporary music and performance pedagogy for their Honours Project. The proposed programme comprises 90 credit points distributed among seven domains:
