smaller chamber groups, jazz combos and a jazz choir. Classical
Voice students produce an opera or opera scenes each year.

BMus
At the NZSM you can major in a wide range of disciplines
including: Classical Performance; Jazz; Composition
(Instrumental and Vocal, or Sonic Arts); or the broadly based
Bachelor of Music in Music Studies. That programme includes
streams in Ethomusicology, Musicology and Jazz Studies.
BA in Music
This degree is distinguished from the BMus, in which music is the
main focus of study. In the BA in Music, up to half of your degree
may comprise Music courses, with the other half being made up
of courses in one or more other subjects taught by the Faculty
of Humanities and Social Sciences. You can also take Music as a
double major along with another arts subject.
A core course in both the BMus and BA in Music is MUSC 105
Music Now, a broad-based study of the range of musics that
have flourished across the 20th century and up to the present
in widely divergent traditions.
