Bachelor of Music (Performance)

The Honours strand of the BMus (Performance) allows performance students of superior ability and potential to extend their knowledge and skills in both performance and research and to develop artistic autonomy in the area of their Principal Study beyond the level that would normally be expected of Pass BMus students. It provides preparation for employment in the musical profession or for postgraduate study. By the conclusion of this course, students will have demonstrated a superior performance ability in recital, and the capacity to develop and carry out a specialised research project. Candidates are required to undertake a research thesis of 8,000 to 10,000 words in the first semester and an Honours Performance in the area of their Principal Study in the second semester. In addition to the formal prerequisites listed for Principal Study (Honours) 7, candidates for admission to the Honours program must have achieved a Distinction in Principal Study 4 and 6, a Credit (or higher) average in all other units, have gained at least 18 credit points in History and Analysis of Music, and undertake an Honours audition. Candidates wishing to take Principal Study (Honours) 7 must apply in writing, setting out their proposed research topic. To qualify for an Honours degree, candidates successfully complete Principal Study (Honours) 7 and 8 in place of Principal Study 7, 8 and Principal Study 7, 8 (Advanced). The units of study are taken as part of the normal full-time load of 24 credit points per semester in semesters 7 and 8 of the course. Students accepted into Principal Study (Honours) 7 are strongly encouraged to read Part I (Chs 1-14) of the Turabian text book before classes begin, and consider how they can apply this in planning their own projects. In addition, students considering research projects which involve human subjects (for instance research through interviews or questionnaires) should contact the Coordinators as soon as possible to begin the process of applying for Ethics approval.
