Students also undertake a significant research project in music.
The degree of Master of Music is awarded on the completion of supervised but independent study and research involving music scholarship and performance or composition preparation which culminates in a thesis, public concerts and recordings of assessable performances. The course is available to graduates of nationally accredited tertiary courses in performance or composition, and to professional musicians whose standing and experience may be deemed by the Conservatorium to be equivalent. Acceptance is determined by audition and interview. The statement should also identify the field of research proposed by the applicant. Consultation Before enrolment, consultations between the applicant, the Head of the Conservatorium, and the proposed supervisors will determine proposals for the applicant's course.
