BA (HONS) Music
As an innovative and progressive music degree in Asia, the BA (Hons) Music programme is committed to contemporary approaches to sound through experimentation, improvisation and exploration of new technologies. It is future-focused to respond to the demands of the global creative music industry and deeply committed to transforming the contemporary music scene in Singapore and Asia, offering valuable industry engagement and successful graduate employment.
Uniquely offering five specialist areas of practice including Popular Music Performance, Electronic Music, Jazz Performance, Composition and Arranging, and Classical Performance, you will focus on essential technical skills and repertoire specific to your specialisation, while collaborating with students from other specialisations.
Practice is at the core of this programme, and it is delivered through weekly one-to-one lessons, rehearsals and performances in your ensembles, lessons in music theory, aural training and music technology. Alongside the focus on practice, there is an emphasis on research throughout the programme, preparing you to be a confident and articulate leader in the music industry.
Distinctive programme features include the teaching of live sound and producing techniques – a pioneering improvisation programme for Classical Performance – a focus on conducting in our Composition and Arranging specialisation, and teaching the leading approaches to group improvisation including Soundpainting, Conduction and Cobra.
In addition, you have the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary projects with our international partners and students from other Schools within LASALLE, student exchanges, internships, international telematic performances, as well as participate in our yearly festivals including Piano Voyage, Rock and Indie Festival (RIF), CHOPPA Festival of Experimental Music and the Living Composers Series.
