Course Objectives
The GradCertMus aims to provide a quality tertiary qualification at the postgraduate level in a professional coursework program. The program aims to provide students with high-level skills as performers or composers; and a comprehensive understanding of a wide range of repertoire and concepts
It is intended that graduates of this course majoring in the pedagogy stream will bring to their work a thorough knowledge of the repertoire for the instrument/s they will teach at the pre-tertiary level, the ability to make informed decisions about appropriate developmental sequences of learning and a detailed understanding of the technical and manipulative requirements of the instrument. Students will be required to think professionally about their work and to plan for their own continuing development.
