CURRICULUM
The
general
objective
of
the
curriculum
is
to
provide
a
broad
foundation
of
musicianship,
integrating
music
making
of
many
different
kinds
with
the
development
of
mind
and
imagination.
Studies
of
Western
music
are
central
to
a
curriculum
that
places
them
in
a
larger
context
so
as
to
foster
a
pluralistic
perspective.
The
department
gives
particular
emphasis
to
musical
creativity,
defined
in
relation
to
contemporary
concerns
and
practices
(exploration
of
sound
imagery,
MIDI,
electronics,
collective
improvisation,
interaction
with
other
arts
and
media)
and
allied
with
pertinent
research
disciplines.
Special
prominence
is
also
given
to
performance
programs
in
chamber
music,
jazz,
contemporary
improvisation,
world
musics,
and
to
ethnomusicological
studies.
The
number
of
credits
(3.0,
6.0,

The
Concurrent
Program
The
following
is
a
set
of
sample
course
configurations
for
students
interested
in
the
Concurrent
Program
of
the
Faculty
of
Education
leading
to
a
combined
Honours
Degree
in
Music
and
a
Bachelor
of
Education
degree.
(The
latter
is
required
for
certification
to
teach
in
the
Ontario
school
system.)
Ultimately,
there
are
many
variations
to
this
course
of
study.
This
is
a
recommended
prospectus
and
students
are
not
obligated
to
follow/adhere
to
it
strictly.
Keep
in
mind
that
the
Concurrent
Program
requires
the
student
to
navigate
through
two
separate
faculties
and
sets
of
degree
requirements
throughout
the
course
of
the
five
year
plan.
The
individual
student
is
ultimately
responsible
for
their
own
course
selections.
Students
should
ensure
that
they:
i)
are
completing
all
mandatory
courses
in
the
Department
of
Music
and
the
Faculty
of
Education;
ii)
have
a
sufficient
credit
total
to
graduate
with
an
Honours
degree
(120
credits);
iii)
have
fulfilled
all
course
requirements
outside
of
the
Department
of
Music
(e.g.
Gen.
Ed.
electives,
required
Education
courses,
and
Fine
Arts
courses)
and
iv)
have
accumulated
sufficient
courses
for
a
second
teachable
subject
if
their
intended
course
of
study
is
the
Intermediate/Senior
stream.
Please
refer
to
the
“York
University
Undergraduate
Calendar
2014-‐
2015",
for
a
list
of
second
teachable
subjects.
For
Intermediate/Senior
you
must
complete
24
credits
in
your
secondary
teaching
subject.
When
applying
to
the
Faculty
of
Education,
generally
in
the
Winter
term
of
the
student’s
first
year,
students
will
be
asked
to
apply
to
one
of
the
three
particular
streams
of
study:
i)
Primary/Junior
(Junior
Kindergarten
–
Grade
6)
ii)
Junior/Intermediate
(Grade
4
–
Grade
10)
iii)
Intermediate/Senior
(Grade

The
Consecutive
Program
Students
may
apply
to
the
Consecutive
Program
after
having
completed
their
Honours
degree
in
music;
alternatively,
students
may
apply
after
having
completed
their
BA
degree
(90
credits)
in
music.
However,
given
the
enrolment
limitations
of
our
Faculty
of
Education,
acceptance
into
the
Consecutive
Program
is
statistically
more
difficult
since
the
program
also
considers
applications
from
outside
the
York
community.
If
your
intended
course
of
study
is
the
Intermediate/Senior
stream,
you
must
complete
18
credits
in
a
secondary
teaching
subject.
Please
refer
to
