Music

What’s it all about?

Music is the art and study of sound. In its most general form the activities describing music as an art form include the production of works of music, the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the appreciation of music.

Will it suit me?

Do you sit at home and noodle on your guitar to kill time? Do you find yourself trying to replicate that track you heard in the club last week using your computer? Do Beethoven’s symphonies leave you with nothing but questions? Perhaps you like the mathematical beauty of note arrangement? If you answered “yes” to any of these, then quite likely, music is for you.

What will I learn?

Depending on the course you choose, you will learn a range of skills that include:

• Audio engineering
• Music psychology

• Mathematics in music
• Music creation and performance

How long will the course last?

Depending on what course you chose, studying Music will typically take 1-3 years.

What will I earn?

What is Fee-Help or HECS?

Did you know the FEE-HELP / HECS scheme allows you to study now and pay for a course later? The great thing about FEE-HELP / HECS is that you don’t have to make any re-payments until you have a job and your income reaches a certain level, which for the 2014 / 15 income year is $53,345.
