Bachelor of Music Therapy (BMT)

In Acadia University’s School of Music, we believe an undergraduate school of music in a liberal university should be more of a laboratory than a conservatory. We strive to create versatile, confident, and well-rounded musicians who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Our foundational curriculum is based on making music in multiple environments. It combines courses in the following:music theorymusic history and culturemusicianship skillskeyboard skillsimprovisationcompositionintensive ensemblesOur courses are taught in a creative way, with outcomes geared for contemporary musicians. The aim is to graduate well-rounded musicians who can thrive in a variety of professional contexts and styles. Our program also strives to create connections to community. We will teach you how to build and facilitate the cultural spaces you will be part of. Performances happen across campus in the many halls and venues of Acadia. You can even learn in our world-class Electroacoustic Music Studio.All School of Music degrees offer you the chance for individual lessons to establish strong technical and artistic foundations. Our classroom courses, ensemble opportunities, and major artistic projects ensure that students can function as contemporary artists across genres. In fact, our applied lessons structure even affords you the opportunity to study more than one instrument at a time through your degree. This can be an exciting thing for any multi-instrumentalist (such as a singersongwriter) who wishes to continue growing in multiple ways.
