Discover Dalhousie’s Department of Music.  Become a professional in music, or combine your music studies with programs in science, theatre or information technology.  Here at Dalhousie, you'll get the theory and training you need for the future you want. 

We offer the opportunity to study with internationally recognized musicians and music scholars, to perform individually and with ensembles, and to experience a large campus with the personalized benefits of a small department.

Our location in Halifax, Nova Scotia is another big plus. We're a part of a vibrant musical city where you can catch live music — from Celtic to classical — nearly every night of the week. It's also home to Symphony Nova Scotia, the best small orchestra in Canada.

Whether your interests lie in performance, teaching, musicology, composition, or new technologies, we have the courses to suit you. Dalhousie is ready to foster an artistic partnership with you — one that will lead to a successful and fulfilling career.
