Our BPA is a comprehensive educational program that nurtures both the practice and the performance aspect of music. It is an amalgamation of various musical practices, critical thinking; contemporary theory with performance, composing, administration and production experience, that will help the students launch their professional career with a distinctive approach.
This undergraduate course will prepare the student with a strong base in the theories of performance, the nuances of the classical, folk and contemporary music, the rudiments of production and presentation along with rigorous insight into the global music field. They will be exposed to the practical and theoretical practices of performing arts across cultures.
Our faculty consists of leading musicians and allied arts experts who encourage students to think about dance beyond performance and focus on music-making in a creative environment. Students learn to support their practice with research in music arranging, composing, performance, therapy, pedagogy, art administration, and study music in its historical, social, cultural and digital contexts.
Students get a chance to work closely with experienced teachers, professional musicians and composers in classes with live/recorded music. Moreover, they can refine their practice in a well-equipped studio. As an extension of the learning received during the current crisis, the students will also learn the use and control of digital media to promote and present the performing arts.
This course aims to build and expand the knowledge of music through its physical, intellectual, and exploratory dimensions. Moreover, it will help students understand themselves and their unique artistic voice by emphasizing practical and theoretical lessons. In turn, this will enable students to make informed choices as holistic artists.
