About the course

The Music Program presents diverse perspectives on music, blending opportunities for music performance along with critical study and analysis. The programs in Music at McMaster are designed to meet students? needs in performance and education and to provide academic opportunities that are both challenging and exciting. We feature small classes and individual attention to enable students to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on innovative teaching methods supported by the latest technology, and in providing a friendly, supportive environment with approachable, caring faculty. Our curriculum is designed to offer students considerable input into the structure of their degree.

　　The Music program gives students a thorough grounding in the four fundamental areas of music instruction ? theory, general musicianship, history and performance ? and allows students who are interested in teaching careers to specialize in Music Education, while those interested in academic studies and graduate school may emphasize such topics as Music History and Music Theory. Students may also choose our groundbreaking new specialization in Music Cognition, which explores exciting new research into how music is perceived in the brain and how music intersects with other aspects of intellectual development.
