Music Performance Electives

The study and performance of music has been a special feature of Mount Allison University since the first Certificate in Music was granted in 1874. At the present time, music offerings range from degree programs which prepare students for professional careers in music to elective courses designed especially for Arts, Commerce, Fine Arts, or Science students. The Department's splendid facilities and versatile faculty enable Mount Allison to provide a thoroughly professional experience within a small, residential, liberal arts university.

Presently, the Department of Music offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts (Major or Minor in Music) or (Honours in Music) degrees. Each program is designed to develop well-rounded musicians as well as to provide students with a sound basis in the liberal arts. The various curricula conform to the Guidelines adopted by the Canadian University Music Society and a wide variety of courses are offered in the following areas: Theory and Composition, Music History and Literature and Music Education.

Recital And Concerts
Performances by students, faculty, and guest artists form an important part of the musical life of Mount Allison. The University Performing Arts Series brings to the campus top performers of international rank. Various music faculty ensembles provide an "in residence" group of performers. Frequent student recitals and Collegia Musica provide further enrichment as well as opportunities for students to gain valuable listening and performance experience.

Practice Facilities
Practice facilities are available in the Department of Music for non-music majors from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. Other times are reserved for B.Mus. students.
