The Choir Tour
If you're interested in travel, every year our Choir takes 2-3 week out to travel and perform around the globe. In 2007 the choir toured around Europe, over 3 weeks, and won the prestigious Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival in Vienna. Read more about the journey here.
In 2008 the choir tour travels to China over two weeks. Revisit the site for regular updates as they become available.
All music students have the opportunity to audition for the choir tour and all travel expenses are covered within the course, including airfares, accommodation, transport and most meals.
Master of Music
The Master of Music provides a dynamic opportunity to develop a specialisation from four contemporary strands: performance, worship arts, arts management, and music and media. In addition students immerse themselves in a semester long research initiative that provides the opportunity to explore areas of interest and significance to their current career or focus.
Bachelor of Music
The Bachelor of Music offers majors in performance, worship arts, and audio technology. The course features private tuition for instrument or voice studies, and extensive studio experience for those focusing on audio technology. It also features multiple performance genres and regular performance opportunities for those focusing on performance or worship arts, and a strong project emphasis for those taking an audio technology major.

Those students who need to exit from the Bachelor of Music after two years can do so with the accredited award of Diploma of Music.
