Course summary

Become an accomplished and confident musician, gain a solid grounding in Western art music practice and study a range of contemporary, world, traditional and popular musics.

Course overview

Study music at Newcastle and join a dynamic and pro-active community of music makers who are committed to valuing all music. This community will help you embrace your individual creativity, and develop your critical thinking about music.

Study topics based on your interests such as music history, cultural theory and essentials of music theory. We also offer optional vocationally oriented modules in music education and music enterprise.

If you wish to specialise in performance, your skills will be nurtured by our specialist performance tutors, who are experts in their craft and run one-to-one tuition and group lessons.

Teaching methods

To bring out the best in you, we use different forms of teaching for the range of approaches to music we cover.

Some modules are based around lectures and seminars, with reading or listening assignments. Other modules involve smaller specialised study groups.

Performance modules are often a combination of one-to-one tuition, group workshops and specialist masterclasses.
