The Universal Language
The UWA School of Music’s mission is to teach and inspire exceptional artistic and academic students, regardless of their social and economic status, to realise their highest potential.
The School has a long and proud tradition of producing outstanding musicians, benefitting from strong community ties and engaging music lovers in a wide range of outreach programs and concerts.
Every Specialist Music Studies student receives one hour of one-on-one instruction from a professional musician each week. Interacting with great music masters is a priceless experience through which students come to understand and incorporate methodologies, theory and performance practice.
Mentoring is vital to the development of emerging artists and to their future success as musicians. Students are given the opportunity to study and practise with a Maestro in Residence, learning to model their preparation and performance after the most acclaimed performers of our day.
Through the New Century Campaign, $8 million will be raised for an endowed fund dedicated to individual music tuition, critical to the moulding of young musicians and the development of professional musicianship.
