The Master of Music (M.M.) is an advanced professional degree that equips students with both specialized technical abilities and comprehensive understanding of music theory, history, and literature. Focus areas include Composition, Conducting, and Performance.
The Composition specialization within the M.M. program offers thorough training in musical structures and compositional styles across historical periods, along with skills crucial for artistic creation. Graduates typically pursue careers as composers, orchestrators, or instructors at community colleges and universities. This degree also lays the foundation for doctoral studies in composition.
The Conducting concentration develops graduates' abilities to analyze scores, employ effective rehearsal methods with diverse ensembles, and convey musical intent through precise conducting techniques. Students can specialize in Choral, Orchestral, or Wind Conducting. This emphasis prepares graduates for professional conducting roles, advanced academic study, or teaching positions at higher education institutions.
