Bachelor of Music

Our Bachelor of Music program has a two-fold focus on performance – in both classical and jazz music - and instruction in theory and composition. As a student in the Bachelor of Music program, you will be given comprehensive training to achieve the level of performance expected of professional musicians. Hellenic American University’s strategic partnership with the Philippos Nakas Conservatory gives you the opportunity to earn a conservatory diploma in addition to your undergraduate degree in Music. And as a graduate of an accredited American university, you’ll be able to continue your studies in music at the graduate level at a university abroad.

Developed in accordance with guidelines of the National Association of Schools of Music in the United States, the Bachelor of Music program has a balanced mix of professional music training and instruction in theory and composition. Program strengths include the following:

• A very flexible class schedule, with afternoon, evening, and e-learning courses to accommodate students’ work schedules.
• Special emphasis on Composition and Music Analysis.

• Small-sized classes and committed faculty mentors mean you’ll get individual attention to your needs and the opportunities to develop your particular talents and strengths, whatever your concentration.
