Details
Like the creative industries as a whole, the music industry is evolving rapidly, with technology at the forefront of the production, performance and promotion of music. Musicians and producers with a future focus, self-reliance and an entrepreneurial nature are forging success in the industry, and increasingly music educators who embrace technology and contemporary genres are better equipped to keep young minds captivated.
Music and sound study area
Music and sound courses at QUT respond to changing industry needs by offering variety, teaching relevant skills and emphasising creativity and new music.
This course provides creative opportunities and teaches up-to-date, industry-relevant skills to those already working as professional performers and composers, music producers, music studio personnel and music educators. For those from other backgrounds, this course will broaden your existing knowledge and skills in music and sound.
You will explore your creative potential through your choice of units about music genre and context, the music industry, sound recording, musicianship, music technology and the relationship between sound and image.
