Facing the Music (2001) is an Australian documentary film, directed by Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson, about the wish of some staff members to keep the University of Sydney Department of Music alive in the face of budget overspending.

The film features music professor (Anne Boyd) struggling to run a dysfunctional department amid budget pressures. She has no training or capacity for the fundraising that is required.

At the end of 2004 the Music Department was merged with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
