General Information:

The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Performance is designed for advanced students preparing for further study or professional activity. Students can design their own program of study and tailor it to their own areas of interest. They may take courses at the Faculty of Music as well as in other faculties and schools at the University of Manitoba.

The program consists of 30 credit hours distributed as follows:

• Three required courses (total 15 hours) in the diploma program, all in the major performance area:

1. Major Practical Study - individual lessons with the principal teacher (6 hours)
2. Ensemble - voice or instrument-appropriate musical ensemble activity (3 hours)
3. Recital - solo performance (6 hours)

• The remaining 15 credit hours consist of electives selected from existing 3000 and 4000 level courses.

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants must posess a Bachelor of Music degree or a Conservatory Diploma taken in residence. Applicants must submit the completed application form and fee, and must also pass an entrance audition, which requires the performance of three (3) works of contrasting styles and/or historical periods appropriate to the audition medium.

Auditions are normally held in-person, but a high-quality DVD recording may be acceptable where distance is a prohibitive factor. Audio only submissions are not accepted.
