Offered by: Music Research     Degree: Bachelor of Music

Program Requirements

The Concurrent B.Mus./B.Ed. combines the Bachelor of Music (Major Music Education) with the Bachelor of Education (Music Elementary and Secondary).

Requirements are normally completed in five years and lead to certification as a school teacher in the Province of Quebec. Out-of-province students (or those without Quebec CEGEP, French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, or at least one year of university studies prior to commencing the Concurrent program) are required to complete 170 credits, normally in six years.

Applicants who already hold a Bachelor of Music degree from a North American university should apply directly to the Bachelor of Education in Music Elementary and Secondary (B.Ed. Music) program offered by the Faculty of Education /dise/progs/music.

Notes:
1. Students majoring in Music Education in the jazz stream may take Jazz Arranging 1 (MUJZ 260) with the permission of the instructor, per available space in the course, and if they have the prerequisite, MUJZ 161. Alternatively, they may be asked to register for a different jazz stream course upon the recommendation of the Jazz Area Chair and/or the Music Education Area Chair.
2. In addition to meeting prerequisites/co-requisites for MUCO 230 or MUCO 261, students must obtain the relevant instructor's permission, per available space in the course, prior to registration. MUCO 260 is waived as a prerequisite for MUCO 230.

The B.Mus. Major Music Education program in the Schulich School of Music focuses on the development of prospective music educators as musicians. This is achieved both through core music history, theory, musicianship, and performance courses, as well as through different instrumental, vocal, and conducting techniques courses. Laboratory experiences provide an opportunity to develop facility with basic music rehearsing/teaching techniques, with emphasis on the ability to diagnose and correct technical and musical problems. The B.Ed. Music Elementary and Secondary program in the Faculty of Education focuses on the development of the musicians as educators. This is achieved through courses in educational foundations, music pedagogy, pedagogical support, and a practicum component comprised of four field experiences and supporting professional seminars.

The components of the 137-credit Concurrent Bachelor of Music - Major Music Education and Bachelor of Education - Music Elementary and Secondary (excluding the 33-credit Freshman Program) are as follows:

58 credits in Education
71 credits in Music
