About Community Music
Our interdisciplinary Master of Arts (MA) in Community Music balances theory and practice for the development of leadership skills in community music. Offered part-time (two-years) or full-time (one-year), we have designed this degree for community leaders engaged in creating or making music with diverse populations.
Community Music is an emerging academic discipline worldwide, which honours wholeness and health, activism and justice and a variety of informal learning practices within the practice of music making.
Those who are currently in careers will find this program tailored to the deepening of their skills and interests through scholarship and applied experience. Those completing undergraduate programs will find this to be a natural progression that builds on the foundational experiences and developing musicianship.
During this program you’ll complete a research project that will be presented in a public community capstone setting where your leadership is demonstrated in context.
