Welcome to 2024–2025 undergraduate study at U of T Music! I invite you to explore this Undergraduate Academic Calendar to see a listing of our outstanding faculty, descriptions of our undergraduate programs and courses, and details on financial assistance, student services, and university regulations. There is a lot of information here—please do not hesitate to contact the Faculty of Music Registrar’s Office with any questions that you have.

This Undergraduate Academic Calendar captures only a portion of what goes on at U of T Music. Experiences outside of formal courses also contribute significantly to academic and artistic development. U of T Music will present over 600 events during the year—concerts, masterclasses, workshops, guest lectures, and conferences—given by our students and faculty as well as visiting composers, educators, performers, and scholars. I encourage you to explore these events as well as the diverse and vibrant cultural activities that make Toronto such a special place to live, work, and study.

At the undergraduate level, U of T Music has extensive offerings in fields such as Classical and Jazz performance, music education, composition, music history, music theory, and ethnomusicology. Undergraduate courses also explore popular music studies, music technology, music and health, and a range of interdisciplinary scholarship between music and various fields in the humanities. I encourage you to consider taking at least one course this year outside of your perceived “comfort zone”. Talk with faculty, staff, and other students about your interests and goals; we want to work with you to optimize your learning experience. U of T Music is a community that values a supportive learning environment as we grow together on our musical journeys.

I wish you a year that is brimming with joyful times of making and studying music together. I hope that you will renew friendships and make new ones, ask questions and reach out for support, and progress to new heights as artists, creators, educators, and scholars. I know that your passion for music, commitment to education, and sense of community will inspire those around you.

Best wishes for a fantastic 2024–25 academic year!
