GENERAL INFORMATION
The College Division of the Academy of Music is designed for students whose primary interest is in preparing for a professional career in performance. The Academy in collaboration with the Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL), provides a program leading to a Bachelor of Music (Performance) degree through TRU-OL and an Artist Diploma for those individuals who have earned a Bachelor of Music degree and who are preparing for a performance career.
These are full-time programs offering private studies with a faculty of distinguished performing artists in residence at the Academy, in addition to accredited academic university courses for the Bachelor of Music (Performance) degree through TRU-OL. Although the programs are designed essentially for the student interested primarily in preparing for a professional career in performance, the curriculum presents a balance of practical and academic studies.
Under the terms of the bilateral agreement between the Academy and TRU-OL, students will take their music courses at the Academy, a minimum of six credits of general education requirements at TRU-OL, and will receive their degree from TRU-OL Students may also transfer credits for courses taken at other accredited institutions.
The music program concentrates on three areas of music training: the major instrument, the historical and theoretical aspects of music, and ensemble performance.
