University of Sydney - Conservatorium
This course allows a focus on one of four specialties essential to music making in the 21st century. Contemporary Music Practice introduces you to a diverse range of music industry practitioners who will help you produce original music. Composition for Creative Industries focuses on developing your composition skills, including notation-based composition, to prepare you for music beyond the concert hall by learning how to compose collaboratively with performers, arranging music for film, television and online. Digital Music and Media focuses on computer-based and interactive musical creativity. This specialty includes writing music for online games and creating music for new media and technologies. Musicology is designed for students who want to develop as a musician and to build their experience of current approaches to music, in terms of creating and understanding music and its place in society.
