Graduate studies in music education (M.A. and Ph.D) offer students the opportunity to explore current issues in music education. An in-depth examination of pertinent research literature forms the basis for these programs. Experienced and supportive faculty who are regularly published in the field’s leading journals make this an ideal environment in which to study.

The Music Education staff includes prominent researchers in areas such as musical development, music perception, conducting, performance techniques, philosophical issues in music education, music performance adjudication, and music technology.

The Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education is an integrated 5-year, 157-credit program that leads to a brevet (certification) as a teacher in the province of Quebec. This concurrent program combines academic studies in Music, professional studies, and field experience in each year and offers students the opportunity to obtain a Bachelor of Music degree and a Bachelor of Education degree in addition to teaching certification. The program also offers graduate training at the Masters and Doctoral levels.
