Our performance program combines practical training with immersive learning in a team-oriented setting. You'll get tailored instruction and performance-focused opportunities in solo, chamber, and large ensemble formats. The curriculum includes seminar courses covering music theory, historical context, and stylistic interpretation. This program acts as both a springboard for musical careers (such as establishing private teaching practices, pursuing professional auditions, and securing engagements with orchestras or ensembles) and an academic foundation for advanced research at the DMA/PhD level.
Learning Outcomes
Participants in this program will:
refine tonal precision and versatility to enhance expressive capabilities
sharpen technical proficiency while expanding the skills needed for superior musical interpretation
cultivate advanced musicianship through hands-on performance training (in both group and individual settings)
deepen knowledge, fluency, and appreciation of repertoire specific to their chosen instrument (voice, piano, flute, etc.)
acquire techniques for live performance situations, including improved stage confidence and methods for handling performance stress
explore the professional standards, ethical considerations, and obligations of a career in musical performance
