There are four main strand of the program: 1) Academic Music, which in this program, refers to a more critical and theoretical approach to the appreciation, composition and performance of music and research; 2) Technological Music, which refers to music that is created and performed with the use of technology; 3) Popular Music, which is mass mediated and liked by a groups of people; and 4) Community Music, a term borrowed from community theater to refer to music used beyond the stage performance contexts Popular and Community music are more of a practical experience of music as it is used in the day-to-day life.
