WHY MUSIC AT

• Career Outcomes: According to WorkBC, the BA Music course gives the training to become Conductors, composers and arrangers, managers, musicians and singers and other professional occupations in therapy and assessment which are interesting options for me to decide between my personal love of music performance or teaching.

• UBC Music Features: One of the greatest concert halls and music studios.

• Passion for Music: I’ve always loved music and performing. I’ve been singing since I’ve been 3, played Piano for some time, currently playing the Setar and learning the French Horn. I want to use my music to inspire people and touch their lives.
