The Master of Music (Orchestral Performance) is a practice-based coursework degree that prepares students for specialist careers in the area of orchestral performance. The degree takes 24 months full-time to complete and is delivered through an industry partnership between the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (MCM) and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO). Candidates participate in ensembles and classes at the MCM, study the inner-workings of an orchestra’s management through classes with MSO staff, and participate in a capstone Work Integrated Learning experience through rehearsals and performances with the MSO.
