The Master of Music (M.Mus.) performance degree is designed for students who have demonstrated undergraduate proficiency and show promise for advanced musical development. Typically serving as a terminal degree for aspiring professionals, it can also function as preparation for doctoral studies for some students. Performance students showcase their skills through a first-year jury featuring solo and ensemble pieces, followed by a comprehensive solo recital in their second year - both serving as alternatives to a written thesis. The program generally requires two years of full-time study.
