The Bachelor of Music (Level 7) is a three-year full-time music qualification that brings students to an advanced level of knowledge and skills in major areas of musical understanding, music production, and music performance. The NZ Diploma in Music Level 5 is a pre-requisite and stands as the first year of this degree. The music degree is unique because it is taught within a Christian environment. Students will complete a Theology paper and enjoy weekly worship times together with other students and staff.
Students who choose to complete this music degree will receive further one-on-one tuition in their chosen stream (Instrument, Voice, and Song Writing). The Bachelor of Music combines performance and academic study. Students continue to develop skills in their elective and also develop higher research and academic skills. Students can study the type of music they love in their specialist voice or instrument electives including Rock, Pop, R&B, Jazz or Classical. Students are given opportunities to experience all aspects of music, including assisting in the annual Vision College tour to schools and other performance events.
This Bachelor of Music has a balance of both music performance and academic aspects and many of our graduates have been highly successful in their music-related careers which include performance, education, church leadership, music management and music production. Some have furthered their study with Post Graduate Diplomas or Masters degrees.
