The master's program offers an in-depth curriculum focused on creating music across both traditional and electronic formats. Students will assemble a collection of original works throughout their studies, culminating in a final composition recital near the program's conclusion. To achieve this, participants must hone their compositional techniques while exploring relevant musical literature and aesthetic concepts. The program also includes advanced coursework in music theory and history to cultivate versatile musicianship.
Alumni from CCM's Composition, Musicology, and Music Theory programs establish careers as composers, researchers, scholars, and creative professionals. CCM bridges theory and practice through biennial conferences, a student-led journal, visiting composer residencies, and an extensive lecture series with industry leaders - all providing graduates with significant professional advantages.
