The programme is great fun! Fun, flexible and vocational. I’m leaving not only with the skills I need to work, but also the experience, confidence and contacts that will easily allow me to find a job.’
Beth Black, Graduate 2015
The BMus (Hons) Community Music programme is an established and innovative programme unique in Scotland. The programme prepares you for a flexible career as a musical practitioner who is able to work across a spectrum of community and educational settings, combining a wide range of community based, education and musical skills.
From the commencement of your specialist studies on the programme you will engage extensively in placement learning across settings of your own choosing and interest, allowing you to develop and define your personal identity as a community musician. In your fourth year you will have the opportunity to design and implement you own project with the full support of your peers, community partners, visiting specialists and the programme team.
‘All in all, this is an innovative course that seems to be growing in sophistication and strength, with exciting potential for interdisciplinary collaboration and development. The course provides students with a strong practical and theoretical foundation, and, most importantly, students come away with the confidence to move forward into society with the requisite knowledge and skills to become successful, reflective practitioners.’

Why Study Community Music?
Choosing community music has enabled me to see and find a few of the many musical opportunities there are right at our own doorsteps. The skills and abilities I now have, such as being able to adapt, plan, organise, teach, communicate, and find information, have all been developed throughout the courses on offer. The lectures are always thought-provoking and often revolve around discussion and debates. This allows the atmosphere to be inclusive and very much a learning environment for all involved. Joy, Year IV
Community music equips you with knowledge and skills to understand, underpin, carry out and evaluate your practice; to make music accessible to anyone and everyone. Without this degree, I would never have imagined that I could reach my dream of taking music abroad. Shannon, Year IV
The small class sizes and the devotion of the lecturers allows so much room for development, and makes for a wonderful and care free learning environment where no question is too small to ask. I love the hands on, practical opportunities you gain from the degree, and I can't wait to see where the Community Music degree takes me. Iona, Year II
