Refer to `Entry requirements' under `Arts regulations and definitions' earlier in this section.
In addition to the standard requirements, the music standard is normally at least seventh grade AMEB (Performance) or equivalent. For students wishing to specialise in musicology or ethnomusicology, there are no entry tests, but intending applicants should make an appointment for an interview with a staff member. Students intending to specialise in performance should prepare for audition not more than three pieces of music drawn from a varied repertoire, eg a work from the classical period, a work from the Romantic period, and another written in the 20th century. Non-pianists must provide their own accompanists. Students intending to specialise in composition are required to attend an audition in which they present three music compositions that show the range and proficiency of their work, accompanied by a declaration that the submitted compositions are entirely their own work.
The Bachelor of Music requires students to complete a major in performance or composition and minor in performance and a major in one other stream, ie composition, musicology or ethnomusicology. To complete a Bachelor of Music, students take units valued at a total of 144 points over three years of full-time study, comprising:
Students complete:
(a) a performance major (54 points)
