The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music offers the opportunity to combine study in music with courses from other BA subjects and across the wider university. The Music major lets you explore music from a range of perspectives: cultural, historical, critical, technical, and creative. You can combine music courses in ways that suit your interests, so that you can explore the ways in which music interfaces with other areas of study, both within the BA and beyond it. A number of courses require no prior musical knowledge. These include courses in popular music, jazz and classical music, film music, non-Western music, and music technology. Performance courses in Māori, Pasifika and Indonesian gamelan music are also open to BA students. These afford students the experience of musical and cultural learning through practical music-making. You can take Music as a double major along with another subject such as Film, Theatre, a Language, English Literature, Media Studies, Mathematics, Psychology, or Economics. The BA in Music is distinguished from the Bachelor of Music (BMus), in which music is the main focus of study.
