The Master of Music (M.Mus.) program in performance and composition is designed for students who have demonstrated exceptional skill during their undergraduate studies and show potential for continued artistic growth. This degree typically serves as the terminal academic qualification for musicians entering professional careers, though some may use it as preparation for doctoral studies. Performance majors showcase their abilities through a recital or opera production instead of writing a thesis, while composition students present a collection of their original pieces. The standard program duration is two years.
