Bachelor of Music
StFX Music is a pioneer in jazz education in Canada. We offered the country’s first university degree in Jazz Studies in 1983.
At StFX, you’ll receive individual instruction from some of Canada’s leading music educators in studio, classroom and rehearsal environments, honing your performance and compositional skills.
Our strengths are in our teaching and course content. We provide direct face-to-face private studio lessons with faculty, and our courses teach you how to use the best resource available: you. As a Music major, you’ll have courses in music theory, composition, arranging, private studio lessons, jazz history, and ensembles.
In addition, we want you to see and hear how it’s done. The Visiting Artist Program brings internationally known performers to campus for clinics, concerts and workshops, giving students exposure to learn from the world’s best jazz musicians.
