Popular Music Programs - Australia & New Zealand

Here you'll find an ever-growing list of college and university level Popular Music (PM) across the world. The programs listed focus on aspects  of popular songwriting/composition, performance, popular music studies, and popular musicology. While some programs listed also include aspects of recording technology, music business, and/or entrepreneurship this is in conjunction with a songwriting and/or performance focus. In the near future I hope to add secondary PM programs as well. If your program is not listed below, please contact me at steveholleymusic@gmail.com Thanks!
