Bachelor of Music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Bachelor of Music (B.M., B.Mus. or Mus.B) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by a college, university, or conservatory upon completion of program of study in music. In the United States, the Bachelor of Music is a professional degree; the majority of work consists of prescribed music courses and study in applied music, usually requiring a proficiency performing an instrument. Such a program lasts three to four and a half years.
A Bachelor of Music may be awarded for Music Performance, Music Education, Composition, Music Theory, Musicology/Music History, Music Technology, Music Therapy, Music Business, Music Entertainment, Music Production or Jazz Studies. Recently, some universities have begun offering degrees in Music Composition with Technology, which encompasses traditional theory and musicology coursework, but also adds the element of engineering in a studio, and becoming proficient at full-scale studio production.
In England, the degree of Bachelor of Music is generally an undergraduate degree lasting three years and consisting of a wide range of areas of study (normally including Music Performance, Composition, Music Theory, Musicology/Music History), but at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge it is a postgraduate degree which can only be read if you are a graduated in music with honors at those universities; the undergraduate degree is in the Faculty of Arts.
