Study music at Western to make the most of your talents and to take your place in the music industry. That industry includes performers, agents, engineers, managers, teachers and every business discipline. And, yes, you can even combine a BMus with an Ivey HBA.
At Western, you join one of the largest music faculties in Canada and one of the friendliest. Enjoy the beautiful campus and the academic challenge of a comprehensive university.
Studying music takes your discipline, interaction and communication skills to the highest levels. Musicians analyze data and bring it to life — perhaps the most valuable skill in any industry. Western prepares you for the career and the life you want — whether recording your next hit or auditioning for an orchestra.
That unexpected melodic line. The percussive harmonies. The sampled phrase. An entrance that makes you reconsider the whole piece.
Music moves us. Studying music can mean advancing your musicianship as well as your critical understanding of music and its context. Study Music Education and French Studies or Popular Music and Women’s Studies.
