Music at Bath Spa University
Music at Bath Spa University is part of a vibrant School of Music and Performing Arts with outstanding facilities. There is an exciting and creative programme of student performance and composition, which combines with our professional concert series based at the Michael Tippett Centre concert hall. BA Music offers specialist modules in classical and jazz performance and composition. Performance opportunities include annual staged musical theatre and opera productions and a range of ensembles from big band to wind band, early music to gamelan ensemble as well as several choirs.
With around 120 students on BA Music, and 60 students taking music combined with another subject, we are large enough to take on performance projects such as the recent British premiere of Philip Glass's opera Satyagraha and Brahms's German Requiem, but small enough to have a real sense of community, helped in no small part by the beautiful campus and surroundings. The Music team is keen to make you feel involved in the subject, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to contact your tutor formally and informally.
The BA Music course emphasises creativity through performance and composition, and is also alive to the constantly changing needs of the job market. The instrumentalist and vocalist as teacher and performer, the composer for media or education, music management, arts administration, music promotion and music in the community are just some of the career possibilities that Bath Spa University will open up to you. You can be creative and productive in the Bath Spa University environment while developing new and useful skills and experience.
