Music and Culture at the University of Toronto Scarborough

Our innovative program combines rigorous scholarly training with experiential learning opportunities — and there’s no audition to get in. We customize your studies around what interests you most and your level of music training, with a range of small and large ensemble performance courses alongside many theoretical and practical courses in composition and electronic music, theory, and history and culture. You'll gain a broad knowledge of current directions in music as well as a critical grasp of music's role in society and culture, from local communities to global perspectives.  

Our program is designed to be combined with a major or minor from any other department, be it arts management, journalism, mental health studies, neuroscience, psychology and more.  We boost your knowledge of musical cultures past and present, and deepen your understanding of music as a part of the human experience, across time, society and culture. Whether you’ve studied music for years or are just starting out, we have performance ensembles and innovative courses where your talents will thrive.
