Bachelor of Arts in Music
Whether you want to pursue a career in the music industry, or want to use music as a tool for an interdisciplinary career, the Bachelor of Arts in Music will make sure that you carry your talent and love of music with you through the rest of your life. The Bachelor of Arts in Music has two concentrations, advanced music or a secondary area of study. Advanced music students take courses that focus on high-level music skills, which will prepare you for a career as a performer or admission to music graduate schools. Students who wish to concentrate in a secondary area of study might include psychology, business or other interdisciplinary areas.
Whatever your goals may be, Brenau’s faculty will work with you one-on-one to expand your understanding of music and ensure you’re growing as a musician. With private studio lessons in piano as well as voice or your chosen instrument, you’ll get the hands-on experience that you need to thrive in a musical career.
