The University of Washington's School of Music provides extensive professional education with programs focused on both performance and academic research. More than 500 students are enrolled in various degree tracks, including Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Master of Arts, Master of Music, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy. Non-major students also engage in private lessons or join musical ensembles for personal enrichment. The curriculum acknowledges music's dual aspects: as a creative art form that thrives through the work of composers, performers, and educators, and as an academic discipline within the humanities that demands scholarly analysis of its theoretical frameworks and historical evolution. Graduate programs create an immersive setting for students to deepen their expertise in either performance or music scholarship.The University of Washington's School of Music provides extensive professional education with programs focused on both performance and academic research.
