Music is a field of study that focuses on music as a practice: students receive practical, in-depth instrumental or vocal training, and deal with topics such as music theory, composition, and music technology. Graduates can work as instrumental musicians, conductors, or singers, for example, but can also take on jobs in music journalism and event management.
