Welcome to Music
Information for Auditions for 2010 entry
The Discipline of Music is administratively located within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a part of the newly created School of Arts. It is physically located in the C.B. Newling building near the centre of the Armidale CBD. Since its establishment in 1972, Music at UNE very rapidly built a history of excellence both in teaching and research. Its commitment to nurturing individuality to enable students to reach their full potential has remained its greatest strength.
Surrounded by magnificent gardens, the beautiful old C.B. Newling Building – for many years a Teachers’ College – welcomes music students into a beautiful environment that is a potent stimulus to intellectual achievement. The New England Conservatorium is also located in the same building.
Courses and units at UNE are designed to enable students to gain a real understanding for the underlying unity in all music studies. Students not only participate in UNE’s stimulating intellectual community, but also benefit from Armidale’s unique cultural environment. Students can join a variety of traditional and/or world music ensembles to gain a breadth of experience that prepares them for a variety of careers. Many students live in one of the student colleges, which are a special part of the UNE experience.
