The School of Music celebrates the ethos of ANU as reflected in its Graduate Attributes, that students should be critical thinkers, able to actively challenge the nature of things, engage in cutting edge debate, and ask judicious questions. The School offers innovative teaching pedagogies across its creative practice courses, blending dynamic and collaborative debate with one-to-one tutorial sessions, and a rich range of offerings including workshops, performance, and recording opportunities. 

The study of Music at ANU encompasses a modern educational experience, which nurtures outstanding artistry through the intersection of performance, composition, and technology. Students can specialise in one or more of three Majors, including Classical or Jazz & Contemporary Performance and Composition. Musicology, and a range of other topics, can be studied through the Music Studies program in the Bachelor of Arts.
