Students who intend to qualify to teach with Ontario teaching certification at the Honors Specialist level should enroll in the Honors in Music Education program. From a wide range of electives students may choose a comprehensive program or may specialize in elementary or secondary school vocal or instrumental music.

Six approved Grade 12U/M credits, including Grade 12U English (ENG4U), one of which may be Grade 12U Music or equivalent Conservatory certificates (Grade IX vocal or instrumental with Grade III theory) or completion of six Grade 12U and/or M level courses including ENG4U.

Recommendation of the Faculty on the basis of audition and interview (evidence of ability to manage the curriculum, usually manifest in at least Grade VIII performing ability). The Faculty contacts each applicant regarding specific audition requirements and dates. Conservatory certificates are not required.

Students not recommended for admission to the Common First Year of BMus/BMusA programs are automatically considered for admission to the first year of the BA (Music) program.

Piano proficiency at the Grade VI level is strongly recommended before entrance. See Music 0914 in the UNDERGRADUATE COURSE INFORMATION section.

Progression

If a student fails to meet admission requirements, permission to proceed in an Honors Music program may be granted by the Dean on the recommendation of the Department concerned; special conditions on future registration may be imposed.

The basic progression and graduation requirement is completion of the previous year's approved program of study, with a weighted average of at least 70% and no grade less than 60% in Music courses, and a passing grade in each non-Music course.

The continued registration of a student ineligible to progress to the subsequent year of an Honors program will be restricted to courses required to complete the BMusA degree or the three-year BA (Music) degree.
