“My greatest achievement so far has been
receiving an ARIA nomination!”
WAAPA is the most incredible place to study. There’s a
real creative atmosphere on campus that comes from the
uniquely talented intake. My experience has made me a
more competent, confident musician. Thanks to WAAPA, I
was prepared for the reality of the music industry, and ready
to get stuck-in and succeed. My greatest achievement so
far has been recording my first CD – and of course being
nominated for an ARIA!

Classical performance

Graduates of the classical music program can be found in
major opera houses, symphony orchestras and in educational
institutions the world over. Classical performance students follow
one of three streams: vocal studies, instrumental studies or
keyboard studies.
Each stream has its own discrete specialist classes, for example,
vocal students study acting, languages and movement skills,
instrumentalists study chamber music, early and contemporary
performance practices, and pianists study in solo repertoire,
accompaniment and vocal coaching.
In addition to a core academic program, all students receive
individual lessons and specialist performance classes and
participate in a large range of ensembles. These may include
chamber music groups, the symphony orchestra, fully-staged
operas and cutting-edge new music.
Special Admission Requirements
Admission is based on audition (including a theory test) and
interview. Applicants must also meet ECU’s academic admission
requirements.
The Classical Performance Major consists of 24 units /
360 credit points.
