About the course

The Bachelor of Music (Honours) is an intensive and highly specialised one-year program designed to round off your undergraduate learning in music. The program prepares you for entry into the music profession and creates a direct pathway to graduate coursework and research opportunities in music. The Jazz & Improvisation specialisation is for students who have completed an undergraduate music course at the University of Melbourne or equivalent studies at another institution. It allows those who are involved in diverse modes of Jazz and Improvisation performance to immerse themselves in a practice-based, major creative project. The program culminates in a project outcome such as a live performance, and/or completion of a full CD and/or folio of new creative work. This is accompanied by a dissertation.
