The Music Diploma helps you develop your skills through private lessons in voice or your chosen instrument, and take music classes in music theory and history, performing ensembles and class piano. You’ll also have the option to audition for one of Douglas’s performance groups, where you’ll get live performing experience through concerts, recordings and festival appearances. Many Music Diploma graduates transfer to university to pursue careers as public-school music teachers. The diploma program also provides a basis for further studies directed toward performance, composition, private teaching and other careers in music.
