About the course

Studying history and music provides a comprehensive understanding of both disciplines. Music modules encompass performance, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, music psychology, musical industries, and technology, while history modules examine societies from ancient times to the modern era, focusing on political, social, and cultural themes. Students will explore how music has evolved across time and place, developing skills in performance, composition, and theory, alongside key historical events and figures that have influenced global cultures since 1000 BCE.This program allows you to investigate global, political, and cultural topics of interest, building a foundation for analyzing music's historical and cultural contexts worldwide. Choose from diverse genres like classical, pop, jazz, and folk, and utilize advanced facilities such as practice rooms, recording studios, and psychology labs. Benefits include personalized instrumental tuition, practical industry experience through the Work in Music module, and specialized history seminars, preparing you for an independent career as a musician and historian.
