School of Music · ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences
The Australian Music Studies course is designed to give students the knowledge and skills required to actively engage with Australian music and its historical and contemporary cultural contexts. Students will analyse and critique a range of styles and genres that constitute Australian music using both sounding examples and contextual publications. Recurring images, narratives and signature musical traits and expressions will be examined and challenged in reference to how we sense our identity and place in Australian society today. This course focuses on the significance of an ongoing creation and articulation of Australian culture through our music.
